VENEZUELA 2010

  • Scarlet macaw in Canaima. Very nice bird
  • Canaima lagoon
  • Waterfalls of Canaima lagoon. It looks a bit like beer but unfortunately it isn't.
  • More Canaima waterfalls
  • And some more. This one was interesting since it's possible to walk behind it (note fence, spoiling the illusion of wild nature, untamed by western man)
  • Swimming under waterfall. Pretty fun, actually.
  • This picture summarizes all the important aspects in the life of Venezuelan male
  • Tapir barbecue
  • Auyuan tepui. Very small part of it.
  • Angel falls at cloudy evening.
  • Welcome to the jungle.
  • Angel falls in perfect morning light. All 900 meters of it.
  • Canaima lagoon once more, this time from small plane heading to Ciudad Bolivar.
  • Hiking towards Roraima (cloudy mountain on right).
  • Kukenan tepui at very early morning (pretty the much only possible time to see it without tons of clouds obstructing the view)
  • Rains punishing the Gran Sabana
  • Roraima "ascension ramp", only way to the top of the table mountain
  • Marco, our great Pemon guide
  • On top of Roraima. Rock strangeness.
  • Another tour group walking on Roraima top
  • Small frog endemic to Roraima. It plays dead when scared.
  • More rock strangeness.
  • And even more.
  • Perfect moment for brain malfunction
  • Clouds & waterfalls on slopes of Kukenan tepui (neighbour mountain for Roraima)
  • Roraima as seen from Roraima (it's a big table)
  • View from the top
  • Roraima with less clouds
  • Preparing for descent
  • Going down
  • Our path down, with some shower-like waterfalls
  • Evidence of nature's intolerable cruelty: bird has eaten the juicy tail of termite but left the poor insect alive
  • Crossing the Kukenan river
  • Hungry dog from Paraitepui village
  • Driving back to civilization
  • And one more waterfall
  • This one was actually quite interesting with red color and very shallow river (like 2-3 centimeters) after it.
