About Canaima & Angel Falls
In the remote Gran Sabana of southeastern Venezuela, a landscape straight from the age of dinosaurs rises from the jungle floor. Table-top mountains called tepuis — some of the oldest rock formations on earth, over 1.8 billion years old — tower above an endless green canopy, their sheer sandstone walls trailing cloud and mist. From the summit of Auyán-tepui, Salto Ángel plunges 979 metres into the jungle below — sixteen times the height of Niagara, the tallest uninterrupted waterfall on the planet. The base of the falls is accessible only by light aircraft and dugout canoe, passing through Canaima National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site covering 30,000 square kilometres of untouched tepui wilderness. This is one of the most dramatic and genuinely remote natural spectacles on earth, and one of the least visited great wonders of South America.
