When to go: October to April Difficulty: Easy Travel advisory: Villagers consider tourists who pull out a camera on the first day of the visit to be rude. Wait to take photos until the second day, when the Indians are more comfortable with you. High/low points: Wheeling through the mist of Angel Falls less than 300 feet from the pounding water. Fudging the 35-pound luggage weight limit, in which case Boris will go through your pack and fling the excess onto the runway. Copyright 1998, Outside magazine
