The Devils Cave

As the first expedition ever the Devils
Cave was reached by foot and descended. Several expeditions have tried to reach the
cave, but no one has succeeded. The "Devilscave"
is located on the Sarisarinama tepui deep in the amazon jungle in
Venezuela. The expedition became a really
hard fight for us, much harder than expected, but the bottom
of the Devils cave were reached the 5th
of September 2001.
