Febrero 2007 - Kukenan Tepuy

My trekking in a tour to the top of Kukenan Tepuy, Bolívar state Venezuela... it was a 5 days trekking, 2 days to the top, 1 day there and 2 days coming back.
The place is magical, the entire "Gran Sabana" is an awesome place, the top of the tepuy is unique, the scenery, weather, vegetation is something that just can be seem there.
Here are my attempts to capture some of it's magic...

Thanks for this gallery - I've been thinking about visiting the tepuis for years and you have my feet itchy again! The flora photographs are nice and landscape images from the top plateau are haunting. Thanks again.
