Amuri tepui part I

[Martin Hingst]

Hi,

 

didn't post my Amuri pics of our 2009 expedition here yet (or just a few here and there). Some of the Heliamphora we found were about to publish, so the field trip report had to wait. And if you don't do it immediately...

 

then just later on Like my Ptari Thread, this will be a series. Here Part I - heading for Amuri.

 

The evening before: San Francisco (de Yuruani ;-) The crew is getting a bit impatient ;-)

 

 

The next morning - flight over Gran Sabana:

 

 

 

A first little tepui:

 

 

Chimanta massif (of which Amuri is part of).

 

 

Adankasima and Katuran Tepui:

 

 

 

Our destination on Amuri:

 

 

Getting off - quickly! This taxi meter is running fast...

 

 

and straight into the Heliamphora

 

 

Exploring this unknown and fascinating world:

 

 

And our camp. Perfect basis for some great trip the next three days.

 

 

Regards

 

Martin

Thanks :-) part II is about to follow.

 

Brocchinia were so plenty, it was difficult to walk around without stepping on them ;-) Same was true for Heliamphora at some spots. Really crazy.
