We begin our walk of approximately 5 hours (14 km), until arriving at the Kukenan campsite, that is on an altitude of 1050m. On the way there we will cross two rivers. When it rains, the second river grows and becomes a strong current. Our guides will help us to cross the river save. 
A hot dinner will be prepared at the camp.

During the walk we will enjoy the beautiful landscape, carnivorous plants and orchids; Remember to bring enough free space on your camera. Upon arrival at the base camp, our guide will prepare a light lunch.

In the evening we will have a warm dinner.

DAY 3

We leave after breakfast, walk 3 hours approximately (1.5 km), starting the ascent of the west wall of the tepuy, by a natural ramp. We will walk through the jungle, through roots and loosy rocks, in this vertical ascent we have high risk for the difficult of the road and the narrow of its edges, but our specialized guides will give you the necessary recommendations. The vegetation of this day is quite exuberant, containing several species of endemic plants. Finally we will reach the top with an altitude of 2800 m.
