Female eco-trekkers to journey through the Amazon

Led by expedition leader, Rachel Kelsey, a group of seven international woman will trek through the Amazon. They started their journey on December 31, 2005. It is expected to take one month.
The goal:

"The aim is to create a route which other eco-trekkers can follow on guided tours in the future, bringing the benefit of eco-tourism to the country while maintaining the forest's status as one of the last five remaining pristine rainforests in the world."

They will be traveling from the Orunduik Falls in Guyana to the Kaieteur Falls. Kaieteur Falls is the worlds largest single drop waterfall.

The team will have to walk, hike and canoe across the treacherous and dangerous terrain.
