Aponwao Falls

Aponwao Falls creates a substantial vertical drop into the river below, with water carrying a brown tint due to natural tannins from surrounding forests.

Indigenous communities have maintained continuous presence near the falls within Canaima National Park, establishing settlements throughout the Gran Sabana region over generations.

The name Chinak-Meru, used by local communities, reflects the deep connection between indigenous peoples and the natural features of their ancestral territories.

Visitors need to arrange transportation through certified guides to reach the falls, as the journey involves navigating remote terrain in the Bolívar state.

The waterfall flows year-round through a landscape of tepuis, distinctive flat-topped mountains that characterize this section of southeastern Venezuela.
