Canaima National Park, National park in Bolívar, Venezuela
The park stretches across 30,000 square kilometers of southeastern Venezuela, featuring table-top mountains called tepuis with vertical cliffs reaching over 1,000 meters.
Established in 1962, the protected area received UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1994 due to its geological formations dating back nearly three billion years.
The Pemon indigenous communities maintain their traditional practices within the park boundaries, considering the tepuis as sacred places of ancestral spirits.
Visitors can access the park through Ciudad Bolivar or Puerto Ordaz airports, with local tour operators providing guided expeditions by light aircraft and canoes.
Angel Falls, the highest uninterrupted waterfall in the world, drops 979 meters from Auyantepui mountain, creating a spectacular natural display visible for kilometers.
