| During the Merevari Expedition 1998 we discovered a large cave on top of a table mountain deep in the Amazonian jungle in Venezuela. After some research we found an old myth regarding this cave among the Yekwana Indians. The myth tells the tale of the Devil and evil spirits. According to the Yekwana indians the Devil lives in the cave, and he eats everyone that comes near. We decided to find this cave and test the Yekwana thery. But to do this we had to track trought the jungle around 60 km, then climb the mountain 1000 hightmeters and decend the 350 m deep cave. Finally we had to canoe 800 km down trough the jungle towards civilization. |
