Piedra del Cocuy Natural Monument, Natural monument at triple border of Venezuela, Brazil, and Colombia.
The granite inselberg formation rises 450 meters above sea level between the Amazon and Orinoco basins, featuring three distinct steep peaks.
The Venezuelan government established Piedra del Cocuy as a natural monument on December 12, 1978, through decree number 2,986 to protect its geological features.
The surrounding region maintains deep connections to indigenous groups including Baniwa, Karupaka, and Karry, who have inhabited the area for generations.
The natural monument spans 15 hectares and remains accessible through the Rio Negro waterway, which serves as the main transportation route in the region.
The granite formation stands as a natural border marker where three South American nations meet, with Brazil's Cucuí military outpost visible from its summit.
