Angel Falls and Canaima
Bussed into Ciudad Bolivar which is a bit like Kwekwe but not as happening and then booked our excursion to the Angel Falls out of there. The falls take some getting to... 1 hour in a Cessna followed by 4 1/2 hours in a small dugout upstream and then a 1 hour trek through the jungle. They are not gonna be over run with tourists in too much of a rush which is brilliant. The park is fantastic, loads of tepuis (flat topped mountains) with black rivers (from the tannic acid of the tree roots in the area) and very remote. You can do a 17 day hike to the falls - the application for was turned down by management. Also we would have missed Ants weding.
We also spent a day swimmin gin the lagoons and looking at some other falls in the area on the canaima river. Brilliant place, just a shame about our guide who couldnt find it a way of telling the truth all through the 3 days!
