El Salto El Sapo is located in the Canaima National Park. To get to the Salto it is necessary to enter the Park by air from Ciudad Bolívar; Once arrived at the camp an indigenous canoe is tackled and navigated by a tributary of the Carrao River until arriving at the famous Canaima Lagoon "of pink waters due to the large amount of minerals present in it"
The most impressive thing about this jump is seeing the Tepuy so close that you can almost touch them, but in reality they are hundreds of kilometers away; It is an optical illusion that is lived on the site, and in this way it is the currency of the three most famous Tepuy of Canaima: Zamuro, Venado and Cerbatana. Down, you will see the green savannas Before falling through the waterfall and the waters of the Carrao River, the same that goes back to reach the Angel Falls.
The indigenous guide will invite you to cross the waterfall at the bottom of the torrent of water, where there is a path. At first it sprinkles you with water and gradually soaks you up, that added to the noise produced by the water, the wind that raises the torrent of water, the rainbows that currency when entering the jump, without a doubt cause a magnificent sensation.
After crossing under the El Sapo waterfall, you can continue walking until the second waterfall, called El Sapito, also of great beauty. What most impresses there is the color of the water, characteristic of Canaima, due to the abundance of minerals it contains. On the way back, we return to the top of the El Sapo waterfall, to admire the view of the savannah with the tepuis in the background.
When you visit Canaima and its attractions do not forget to always be prepared with your swimsuit and camera with water protection, because this is a picture you do not want to miss.
