And so it finally arrived...R&R! The group were excited and after an overnight bus journey from Ciudad Bolivar to Maracuay and a short but very windy taxi journey from Maracuay we arrived in Puerto Colombia. Our hotel ´Casa Pueblo´was a lovely surprise, total luxury compared to any of our lodgings over the past month. The little town was bustling and lively and everyone has enjoyed good food, and the palm tree lined beach. After 4 weeks of self catering and trekking it´s nice to have a few days to relax here without feeling like we are living out of a bag.
With just one full day of the expedition left, it clear that this has been an adventure, an experience of a lifetime and just the most amazing month. We have seen epic jungle, endless savanna, busy towns, rolling countryside, paradise beaches and the tallest waterfall in the world. We´ve eaten Ants, termites, chickens cooked over open fires and all sorts of delicacies cooked by the group on trek. An most amazingly of all we have climbed Roraima; the magnificent Tepui with the most bizarre summit I think any of us have even seen. It´s been hard at times but the group have pulled through, they have achieved alot and come a long way. We will be sad to leave Venezuela which has proven to be an incredibly interesting, utterly amazing and totally diverse country, and the most fantastic place for our month long adventure.
