Salto Kamá

Salto Kamá is a large waterfall in Gran Sabana that plunges roughly 70 meters into a natural basin below. The falling water is framed by dense forest and rock formations that create a powerful contrast between motion and stillness.

The region has long been home to the Pemon people, who named this waterfall Kama Meru in their language. The site has remained central to Pemon life and presence throughout the Gran Sabana.

The waterfall holds importance for the Pemon people who live in the region and incorporate it into their daily connection with the land. Local communities view this place as integral to their relationship with nature and its rhythms.

The waterfall is accessible from a designated parking area and camping facilities are available on-site for overnight stays. Water flow is strongest during and after rainy seasons, making these the best times to experience the full power of the cascade.

The cascade forms multiple natural pools at different elevations along its path. Each pool offers a different swimming experience and reveals how the falling water shapes the landscape as it descends.
