Next up, Angel Falls!

Meet Tookky, the toucan, who appears to live at Posada Casita, where we are staying just before we launch into the jungle of the Orinoco to see one of the greatest waterfalls in the world, Angel Falls. At 979 meters, it is the world´s tallest, and sits in the middle of one of the largest national parks in the world. We will be going via a small Cessna, then boat, then foot, to see the falls, and hopefully seeing monkeys and toucans along the way.

Here´s what we hope to be seeing, and the posada where we are currently staying.

Very distinguished photo of Tooky! His bill especially - it looks like it has perhaps seen some hard knocks!

Have been enjoying descriptions of your birding adventures in the Llanos - Mom
