Exhuberant Jungles |
KEREPACUPAI VENA (ANGEL FALLS) A national park the size of Belgium, an hour by air from Caracas, the landscape is straight out of Hudson`s Green Mansions: rivers and jungle ringed by towering tabletop plateaus shrouded in mists, Angel Falls dropping some 3,200 feet, 15 times higher than Niagara, an exotic flora much of it still unclassified, and the Pemon Indians who have woven the towering buttes into myths which they continue to embellish. |

The AMAZON Territory is drained by the Orinoco, one of the world's greatest rivers, which sweeps down from the highlands of the Guayana Shield through largely unexplored jungle. It's Venezuela's wildest and least populated region. You leave your world behind and enter the world of ancient Indian cultures, pristine rainforests and meandering rivers with majestic waterfalls. |
