Roraima, The Lost World - Part 1

ADVENTURES IN "Jurassic Park" Jody Tuoz a student I spent a long 24 hours, reaching the town of Santa Elena on the bus, coming from Caracas. True, half of the journey was reversed at night, and it brightened a little trip. Worst of all was when we reached one of the last checkpoint, where representatives of the National Guard asked us to leave the bus, so they can check our documents and baggage. Given that by the time we've spent 23 hours on the road, it seemed a mockery. Although it's fair to say that it is very fortunate that we were stopped only once - it could be much higher. Of course, this is just a formality, but looking for weapons and stone face guards, I dreamed that the verification procedure is over as quickly as possible. When my turn came, I shook the contents of his bag and tried in broken Spanish to answer the questions I asked. Fortunately, I came to the aid of our guide, Igor, who gave all the answers from my face. With such complex situations often faced by those who, not knowing the language, traveling alone. I was lucky that I was accompanied by guide - this service has given me a tourist company. I advise everyone who goes to travel alone, especially women, to choose that option. My passport is examined carefully, and this part of the procedure made me nervous the most. All the border in South America is deeply suspicious of countries that the author of these notes had already visited, which is evident from the passport stamps. But luckily, everything went smoothly, and no more than an hour later I again found myself in a bus. I got to the lost world view from the window of the bus was great, in front of me opens up endless beautiful scenery. And so I came to "Lost World", better known as the Gran Sabana - here filming the second part of "Jurassic Park". The view was just incredible - no trace of civilization, as far as the eye could see. The only thing that did not fit into the overall picture and made me look up, there were the great old tepui (a special kind of geological formations occurring in the Guiana Highlands, South America, ca. Perevi.). I had a feeling that I opened the ancient world, absolutely untouched by man. After a couple of days in Santa Elena, it's time to go to the village of Indians Pemon. There I met the other members of their group. They were all Venezuelans, but, to my great joy, all spoke in English. The first night I went to Igor in the village Pemon to get homemade food, which proved to be extremely tasty. A chance to get to know the villagers fall is not for everyone. We even went to a local bar (dirty little hut with no electricity), which was served warm beer, which was very tasty, so we drank a couple cups.
