Shopping

Several gift shops are located in and around the small village of Canaima. By far, the best of the bunch is Makunaima Arte Indígena (tel. 0286/621-5415), located just beyond Waku Lodge. This place has a broad and reasonably priced selection of local indigenous crafts, including Pemón blowguns, Yanomami baskets, and Piaroa masks, as well as quality jewelry, ceramics, and woodwork. Another good option -- but with a much more limited selection -- is the Kayarinwa Gallery (no phone), located right in the small village of Canaima. Unless you need toothpaste or some basic goods from their attached general store, avoid the Canaima Souvenir Shop (tel. 0414/884-0940), which has a broad but overpriced selection of crafts. You'll also always find vendors selling jewelry, crafts, and souvenirs at the airport.
