Gran Sabana, Vegetational formation in southeastern Venezuela
The Gran Sabana extends across 10,820 square kilometers within Canaima National Park, featuring table-top mountains, waterfalls, gorges, valleys, and jungles.
The Spanish and Portuguese explorers during colonial times documented this region while searching for El Dorado, leading to early scientific expeditions.
The Pemon indigenous people maintain their traditional practices in three distinct groups: Arekunas, Taurepanes, and Kamarakotos, who guide visitors through the region.
Santa Elena de Uairén serves as the main access point to Gran Sabana, offering accommodations and services 15 kilometers from the Brazilian border.
The region contains dark water rivers with high concentrations of humic acids and tannins, giving them a characteristic tea-like color.
