VENEZUELA

Canaima National Park is a 30,000 square km park in south-eastern Venezuela, in the state of Bolivar, that borders Brazil and Guyana. The park, which is the size of Belgium, is characterized by the many tepuis or table-top mountains. The most famous tepuis in the park are Mt. Roraima, the tallest and easiest to climb, and Auyantepui, from which fall the Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world. The tepuis are sandstone and date back to a time when South America and Africa were part of a super-continent.
