After a couple of boat rides along the river
and several mini hikes we arrived at Angel Falls. Getting to the
waterfall and taking photos felt like a bit of a box-ticker but the
journey to the falls, especially racing along the river with the
dramatic tepuis (flat topped mountains) on either side of us, was
great. I also realised that the film “Up” was based on this
landscape and it turns out the animation team actually came to Angel
Falls while working on the film. We spent the night in hammocks under
a constructed shelter which is just as well because it was absolutely
pouring it down. I also got my first taste of the side effects of my
anti-malarial medication as my stomach churned away under the weight
of my dinner of chicken and rice.
