Jungle walk to Angel Falls



I do not sleep well. The hammocks are strung too close together and somehow I manage to be repeatedly elbowed in the head during the night.

The two-hour hike from camp to Angel Falls climbs through steep dense rainforest. The forest floor is covered with rocks and a thick network of winding tree roots which are tricky to negotiate. Although it's so humid I have sweat pouring off my chin within minutes, I'm enjoying the hike. The sunlight filters through the tree canopy lighting up the pretty bromeliads high in the trees.
