View of magnificent Canaima Falls and Tepuis from the air!

The river is very narrow at times and requires very careful navigation and hands to push away from the rocks (Boat trip to Angel Falls camp)

Camp to Angel Falls is extremely rudimentary. To bathe, "use the river". You can see the contraption to collect rain water in a barrel. On the right is the 'coffee table'. There are no walls and hence no doors.

These mysterious rocks are called "The Fingers of God", on the way to Angel Falls

Wonderful walk on Mayupa Peninsula overlooking river and Tepuis, on the way to the Angel Falls

A 'plastic' lizard on Mayupa Peninsula

Huge La Cortina waterfall in the distance, from Angel Falls

Have you ever seen a yawning cock? Here's one, the camp rooster! (Angel Falls Camp)

One Cashew nut. No wonder they are so expensive!

Look at this exotic flower!

This is Gran Roque, main island of Los Roques, from the air
