Juan Crisóstomo Falcón National Park, National park in Falcón state, Venezuela.

The park extends across 20,000 hectares of mountainous terrain, featuring cloud forests, savannas, and karst formations with numerous caves and underground waterways.

The national park, established in 1987, contains the Spanish Way, a colonial-era road that connected settlements through the Sierra de San Luis mountains.

Local communities depend on the water sources from the park's mountain flanks, which supply cities like Coro, Punto Fijo, and the Paraguaná Peninsula.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails leading to observation points, caves, and waterfalls, with Cerro Galicia standing as the highest peak at 1,600 meters.

The Haitón del Guarataro cave system reaches 305 meters in depth, making it the deepest limestone cave formation in Venezuela.
