CANAIMA
CANAIMA
The Canaima National Park is the second largest national park in Venezuela and one of the most famous in the country and the world, since it is home to the largest known waterfall: Angel Falls, with its almost 1000 meters high. Excursions to the eastern part of the park are memorable and relatively easy to do, since there is a paved road that runs through the park from Puerto Ordaz to Santa Elena de Uairen.
One of the most fabulous places in the country is, without a doubt, the Canaima Lagoon and its surroundings. In this lagoon you can see the Hacha, Wadaima, Golondrina, Ucaima waterfalls and in the background the 3 tepuis that accompany any view of Canaima: The Nonoy-Tepuy (Zamuro) on the left, the Kuravaina-Tepuy (Deer) in the center and the Topochi-Tepuy (Blowpipe).
