VENEZUELA: Canaima National Park

Brief Description:
Canaima National Park is spread over three million hectares in south- eastern Venezuela along the border between Guyana and Brazil. Roughly 65 per cent of the park is covered by table mountain (tepui) formations. The tepuis constitute a unique biogeological entity and are of great geological interest. The sheer cliffs and waterfalls, including the world's highest (1,000 metres), form a spectacular landscape.
