We start off our Angel Falls Adventure by flying from Ciudad Bolivar to Canaima...
Our mini plane.
First view of a tepui, table-top mountains that are remnants of the pre-Cambian age.
View of Canaima from the plane.
Waterfall in Canaima, that we walked behind. Super cool!
Savannah which we hiked across on our way to Angel Falls.
The boats we travelled in, as seen during one of our breaks.
Where the water was too low, the guys had to get out and push the boat! There is Gabe at the front in the yellow shirt.
ANGEL FALLS! Tallest waterfall in the world, oo rah.
Miriam in the bottom section of the waterfall, where the water from Angel Falls pools.
View looking out from Angel Falls.
View of Angel Falls from our boats the next morning, returning to Canaima at 6ish AM. 
Back in Canaima, a Nativity scene (featuring Santa) left over from Christmas.
The dark color of the water, indicating that it is a black river, results from a low organic decomposition caused by poor nutrient levels in the soils. The mosquitos, other insects, and alligators cannot survive in these waters, so yay for us.
Beach in Canaima. Amazing!
Waterfalls at the Canaima beach at night.
At another lagoon, that we arrived at by boat/hike.
