Cerro Yaví Natural Monument

The Cerro Yaví Natural Monument covers 90.9 square kilometers of land, featuring steep cliffs that rise to an elevation of 2,440 meters above sea level.

The Venezuelan government designated Cerro Yaví as a protected natural monument in 1990 through decree number 1.233 to safeguard its ecological resources.

Indigenous communities of the Amazonas region maintain connections to Cerro Yaví through their traditional practices and knowledge of local plant species.

Visitors need permits from Inparques and local guides to access the monument, as the remote location presents navigation challenges in the dense forest.

Underground rivers flow through the mountain's interior, creating a network of waterways that emerge as waterfalls along the tepui's vertical walls.
