Ok, so after 2 solid days of travel with buses planes taxis and waiting areas, we got to Bolivar, and booked our trip to Angel Falls. In the morning we flew to Canaima, and headed straight on our trip to the falls. What an adventure. We took a motorised dugout canoe with the rest of our group up the river for a good few hours - gettin out to swim in a small waterfall, and when the rapids were too much for the boat so we had to go overland. After sunshine, rain, more rapids (this time we jut went up them), we arrived at base camp, were the falls were shrouded in cloud. However, 30minutes later the clouds cleared, and what a view. The highest waterfall in the world, staring us straight in the face, and we felt like the only people there. The falls are in dense jungle, and its an effort to reach them, not like other where you juts hop on a bus for 30minutes. Spent the night in hammocks at base camp, and got up super early to hike through the jungle to the falls. The weather could not have been better in that morning, as we reached the waterfall, the sun was shining and there was a rainbow at the bottom of the 983 meter uninterupted drop! Amazing! after returning and having breakfast, we set off back to camp, with the fantastic memory of the adventure and the falls. When we returned we juts chilled out, and watched the bucket fulls of rain some down upon Canaima. The next day, we got to see Salto Sapo (a waterfall close the the camp). Again in dugout canoe, we saw some roaring falls, and then got out of the boat to hike to Salto Sapo. Here we stripped down to the essentialls, wrapped the camera 2 or 3 times, and walked behind the waterfall. This was amazing. not like you see in films, where people are dry,a nd the water is clear, as the water is bouncing off the end, and then blasting you in the face with some decent force. Getting to the otherside we go to walk up to the top and appreciate just how much water we were walking behind. Following this we went back to the camp and looked around the town in the afternoon. Had some issues with getting food, but all sorted now, just a mixup with the agency and the camp. Now to fly back to Bolivar for a night, and to plan where to head next. What a fanatsic trip, suhc an adventure, and with such an autherntic feel as there were few tourists, and the area felt unmolestered.
