The only alternative to flying is to boat and hike to Kaieteur Falls; indeed, a much more exciting way that will leave you with a lasting impression of the rainforest.
The next few days, the rain continued almost incessantly. At times very hard, at times a drizzle, it was our sure companion on our hike through the rainforest. We quickly abandoned Tony's rule and found ourselves starting off in the morning in clothes that were still wet and never seemed to dry anymore. The guides were stellar, extremely knowledgeable, patient, helpful and cheerful. Full of exciting, sometimes sad, stories about their lives in the rainforest, as miners, guides, hunters. They showed many plants, spotted birds from a distance, and showed the use of the trees and plants of the rainforest. On the first day, they cut a branch off a tree, removed the bark and gave me this walking stick that proved useful for the rest of the hike in maintaining my balance on muddy, swampy soil. I felt an acrobat when I crossed deep creeks on a slippery tree trunk, I felt like a pig when slushing through mud, but most of all: I felt completely immersed into nature all the time. The outside world quickly faded: what counted was our expedition, our comraderie, the pristine rainforest, our progress towards Kaieteur Falls. Mobile phones don't work here; until you reach the falls, there is not a living soul around. The nearer we got, the more anxious I became about the rain that did not seem to stop. Would I see the falls? The last morning, we left camp under a drizzle, and quickly reached the infamous Oh my God climb, far easier than I had expected. Rain was pouring down again, and was even worse when we reached the invisible Kaieteur Falls. Miraculously, the dark and heavy curtain of clouds was lifted shortly thereafter and granted me views of the falls far more spectacular than I had ever imagined.
