Venezuela

I just found a new destination I want to visit..

w
Anyone been there? This place was also the inspiration for the movie Disney/Pixar movie "Up".

The plate has been isolated for millions of years so the flora and fauna are pretty unique.

Petri-I hope you get to live another of your dreams.

It's easier than it looks. It's a two days hike up, no rope climbing or anything that requires special skills. 6-7 days in total.

A plan in the next year or two.. now I just need to convince Laura

Bon chance!

That's a good 7 pages of trip report up there. Beautiful. Worth checking out for the photos.

Australasian Carnivorous plant society has some beautiful flora here:
