Yuruaní Falls, Waterfall in Bolívar State, Venezuela
The water plunges over a steep cliff within Canaima National Park, creating one of the many natural cascades that characterize this mountainous region.
The waterfall became a documented natural landmark when explorers mapped the Gran Sabana region during geographical surveys of eastern Venezuela in the 20th century.
Local indigenous communities maintain traditional connections to the waterfall, incorporating its presence into their customs and ways of living.
Visitors reach the falls through guided tours from Canaima, requiring both land transportation and river navigation during the rainy season from June to December.
The waterfall forms part of the Yuruaní River system, flowing through ancient rock formations that date back millions of years.
