National park Canaima

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Canaima National Park is the second largest national park in Venezuela and one of the most famous in the country and the world, as there is the largest waterfall known: The Angel Falls, with its almost 1000 meters high. Excursions to the eastern part of the park are memorable and relatively easy to make, as there is a paved road that crosses the park from Puerto Ordaz to Santa Elena de Uairen.

In the Canaima National Park, is where the famous tepuyes are found, those mountains with flat peaks, which appear majestically on the horizon, and which offer some truly unique ecosystems, due to the isolation that their greater height produces with the rest of the savanna . In these summits the climate is much colder and more humid because the clouds accumulate on them and produce a special microclimate, relatively cool when covered, but with a strong insolation when exposed to the sun. This makes its climate is, in a way, comparable to that of the Andean we stopped.

 Perhaps one of the things that stands out in this park are the rivers and waterfalls, such as the Aponguao and the Kamarata. Some of the areas of the park are only accessible by air, by plane, or by canoeing along interesting rivers.
