Auyantepui, Sandstone mountain in Canaima National Park, Venezuela
The Auyan Tepuy rises to 2,450 meters with vertical cliffs extending up to 1,000 meters, forming a plateau of 667 square kilometers.
Jimmie Angel discovered the waterfall that bears his name in 1933 while searching for gold ore near the mountain's steep cliffs.
The Pemón people named this formation Auyan Tepuy, which translates to Devil's House in their language, reflecting their deep connection to the land.
Visitors reach the mountain through guided treks starting from Santa Elena, with charter flights to Kavak village providing initial access.
Twenty-five distinct species of amphibians and reptiles inhabit the mountain's summit, adapting to its isolated environmental conditions over millions of years.
