Expedition to Guyana - life in the rainforest

In the sixteenth century, Sir Walter Raleigh began his search for El Dorado in Guyana's rainforest. Four hundred years on and a group of young adventurers from the UK - the Serious Explorers - are following in his footsteps. The rainforest in Guyana is a place that has hardly changed since Raleigh鈥檚 day and remains one of the few areas of unspoilt jungle anywhere in the world. The whole jungle is in a delicate state of balance in which all plants, insects and animals depend on each other. There are thousands of different species all living together under the forest canopy, with many of them being extremely dangerous.
