Today we will hike back to the Tech River camp. The rest of our group will start from the top of Roraima. We rejoined them at the base camp at about 11:00 and then went on To the Tech River. Left Photo: Miriela in foreground Murielle in background. Right Photo: Murielle

 
We saw very little wildlife, a few lizards and toads and some birds.

We passed an indian taking a break. This is the typical pack carried by the indians.

Miriela decided to take advantage of already being wet from the river crossing and take a quick bath.
