Jaua-Sarisariñama National Park, National park with sandstone tepuis in Bolívar State, Venezuela.

The protected area encompasses three prominent sandstone tepuis named Jaua, Sarisariñama, and Guanacoco, rising from the Guayana Highlands of southeastern Venezuela.

The national park received its official designation on December 12, 1978, and later became part of the expanded Caura National Park territory in 2017.

The Ye'kuana people named these mountains Jaua-Jidi, Sarisariñama-Jidi, and Guanacoco-Jidi, incorporating their traditional understanding of the landscape into the nomenclature.

Access to the park requires helicopter transportation from Caracas, as the nearest road stands approximately 35 miles away from the protected territory.

The Sarisariñama tepui contains four massive sinkholes, including Sima Humboldt with a circumference of 352 meters and a depth of 314 meters.
