                    Picture


                    The loose plan for the expedition is:


                    -Fly to Caracas July 16th 2011
                    - Travel to Merida
                    - Warm up and speak to the local rafting companies
                    - Head to some of the harder day trip rivers we know in the area
                    - Paddle a couple of multi day rivers
                    - Explore the area (with the help of local knowledge) in search of new rivers
                    - Explore other areas nearby as time permits, paddling as many rivers as possible
                    - Possible 2nd Descents include the Muccuchachi, Santa Domingo gorge and Aricagua

                    Aims & Objectives

                    Our aims for the expedition were:

                    - Enjoy the world class whitewater we already know exists
                    - Explore the area in search of new rivers, paddling them where possible
                    - Work with the rafting companies to see if there is potential for expansion onto new sections of river
                    - Promote the area as an alternative Summer destination to the Himalaya's (through publishing river notes online, and through a series of talks upon our return in September)
