About this destination

Canaima National Park, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994, is one of the most spectacular and unique landscapes on the planet. With over 3 million hectares, it is one of the largest national parks in the world and home to ancient tepuis—sandstone table mountains that rise above the jungle and host unique species. Canaima is the gateway to Angel Falls (Kerepakupai Merú), the world's highest waterfall at 979 meters of free fall from Auyantepuy. Scenic flights and curiara boat trips to the base of the falls are unforgettable experiences. Canaima Lagoon, with its tea-colored waters surrounded by waterfalls such as Hacha, Golondrina, Ucaima, and Wadaima, is the heart of the park. Pink sand beaches and moriche palms provide the perfect setting for a first encounter with the Gran Sabana. The indigenous Pemón people have inhabited these lands for centuries and share their culture, traditions, and ancestral knowledge with visitors. Camps and lodges in the area offer accommodation and experienced guides for exploring tepuis, jungle, and rivers.
