Piedra del Cocuy, Natural monument in Amazonas, Venezuela.
The granite inselberg of Piedra del Cocuy rises 400 meters above sea level, featuring three steep peaks near the borders of Brazil and Colombia.
The Venezuelan government established Piedra del Cocuy as a protected natural monument through decree No. 2,986 on December 12, 1978.
Indigenous groups of the Arawak language family, including the Baniwa, Karupaka, and Karry peoples, have inhabited the surrounding region for thousands of years.
The Rio Negro serves as the main transportation route to access Piedra del Cocuy, with nearby communities of San Simón del Cocuy in Venezuela and Cucuí in Brazil.
The natural monument spans 15 hectares at the convergence of the Amazon and Orinoco basins, marking a significant geographical point where three countries meet.
