In the sixteenth century, explorer Sir Walter Raleigh became the first Englishman to visit Guyana in South America. He came in search of the legendary El Dorado. With over eighty per cent of the land covered in rainforest, the fastest way of getting around is still often by river. Raleigh made use of Guyana's local tribespeople to guide him through the country's complex river network. Four hundred years later, the Serious Explorers, a group of children from the UK, try out traditional fishing techniques whilst paddling canoes just like the ones Raleigh鈥檚 team would have used. One of the aims of their expedition is for the Serious Explorers to break the record and become the youngest group to abseil down the Kaieteur Falls. Guyana's rivers continue to be the lifeblood of the jungle, providing water for drinking and washing and acting as a source of food for the local tribespeople.
