Down there, in the dense forests, rivers make watermarks on the rock. Down there, between tropical trees, Jade's roads, pools as glass, burgundy waters, snakes emeralds. Down there I heard the songs of exotic birds and the sound of waterfalls. Down there everything is life, and I was there.
Delving into Canaima is to open a new window to emotions. We had reached this part of the world after more than a year 4X4 driving and parked in Santa Elena de Uairén. This is the end of many roads and paths beginning of sand and stone paths that become lost in a maze green, full of beautiful surprises.
Our guide preceded with that half-smile grimace, that gesture sure who knows it will be impossible to resist the next surprise. Because everything is measured in the chaos of wonders. "What seems to the?"He said, pointing a waterfall known as The Veil. The foam of a river descends by a kind of white stone staircase that ends in a pool that wanted to drink whole. We took off the shirt before the dip in response.
Shortly after we walked down a runway jade stone, ocher and slippery platform, as the floor of a palace, through which flowed a river delicate, almost cheesy. And then the river disappeared suddenly jumped into the void, abrupt, even edge. And I sat watching from the rock cliffs those.

Later we walked between red rivers because of the color of some algae that stain the water. And then our guide played surprise again and presented a huge waterfall and on the shore a rubber boat, it seemed to me that tiny next to waterspout.
The idea was to cross the river rapids Yuruaní. Minutes later we prepare for the fall. The river rocks jutting rubber threatened the boat. "On one side!"" Below!"" Give way to the left "" Put on the right!"Shouted the instructor. The rocks were getting bigger and got circumvent rapid eddies formed. In an instant the boat sped out of control. Immediately after crazed paddled to avoid another rock.
In another clear morning we prepare for the Aponwao, an Indian name for a show universal. We were moving in canoes to the foot of a new road completed a half hour walk. The Aponwao was the symbol of unbridled nature. From the viewpoint contemplate diluting water wall between the vapor cloud that she caused. A rainbow intense scene completed.
And a little further, eyes still sparkling with joy, spotted the green glow infinity, jungles jungle, the labyrinth: Can Amazon.
There we drove.
