Canaima National Park is the second largest park in Venezuela, after Parima-Tapirapecó, and sixth biggest national park in the world. It is the size of Belgium or Maryland.

About 65% of the park is occupied by plateaus of rock called tepuis, which are a kind of table-top mountain millions of years old, with vertical walls and almost flat tops. These constitute a unique biological environment and are also of great geological interest. Their sheer cliffs and waterfalls (including Angel Falls, which is the highest waterfall in the world, at 1,002 metres (3,287 ft)) create spectacular landscapes. The most famous tepuis in the park are Mount Roraima, the tallest and easiest to climb, and Auyantepui, the site of Angel Falls. The tepuis are sandstone and date back to a time when South America and Africa were part of a super-continent.

The park is home to indigenous Pemon Indians, part of the Carib linguistic group. The Pemon have an intimate relationship with the tepuis, and believe they are the home of the 'Mawari' spirits. The park is relatively remote, with only a few roads connecting towns. Most transport within the park is done by light plane from the airstrips built by various Capuchin missions, or by foot and canoe. Pemons have developed some basic and luxurious camps, which are mainly visited by tourists from across the world.






















How to go to stay great!


First, the first. Your security and of your related. Venezuela has been destroyed, piece by piece, little by little, by a terrible communist government. I'm from Venezuela. Don't be foolish. It's not a safe place for tourists. You have to be careful and please, do not come alone, by yourself. I do recommend to book your flight from NY or Miami to Simon Bolivar International Airport in Caracas, Venezuela, and being there, contact inmediately, inside the airport, people from Viator. They will be incharge of your security and management of your Venezuela's stay. Do not underestimate this recommendation. It's worth to listen to.
