What are the specialities of the Canaima National Park?

Canaima is the second largest national park of Venezuela and the sixth largest in the world. It is spread over 30,000 square kilometres along the Guyana-Brazil border in the south-east of Venezuela. The park was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.

Some of the main attractions of the park include the unique rock formations called tepuis and Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world. Tepuis are table-top mountains with almost vertical walls.

Mount Roraima and Auyan-tepui are the most breath-taking tepuis in Canaima. Auyan-tepui is the location of Angel Falls. The natives call Angel Falls the ‘waterfall of the deepest place’ or the ‘fall from the highest point’. It is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of South America.
