Para Falls, Waterfall in Canaima National Park, Venezuela
Para Falls descends from the summit of table-top mountain Auyán-tepu into a deep canyon within the Carrao River system.
The waterfall remained uncharted until the mid-20th century, when local expeditions began mapping the remote regions of Canaima National Park.
The Pemon indigenous people maintain traditional celebrations near the waterfall during specific seasonal changes throughout the year.
Visitors need to arrange transportation through certified tour operators in Ciudad Bolivar to access the remote location of Para Falls.
The surrounding tepui formations contain plant species that evolved in isolation for millions of years, creating distinct biological communities.
