Expedition Plan

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)
