Hello friends of steemit in this opportunity I want to see a part of our beautiful country, the great savannah, an earthly paradise.
The Canaima National Park is a national park located in the Bolívar state, Venezuela. It was established on June 12, 1962 and declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1994.
It extends over 30,000 km² to the border with Guyana and Brazil, because of its size it is considered the sixth largest national park in the world. About 65% of the park is occupied by rock plateaus called tepuyes. These constitute a unique biological medium, also presenting a great geological interest. Its steep cliffs and its waterfalls (including Angel Falls, which is the highest waterfall in the world, at 1283 m).
The best known tepuyes are Mount Roraima, the highest and easiest to climb of the whole park, and the Auyan-tepui, the most visited, because in this is the waterfall or highest waterfall in the world, the Angel Falls .
It is said that the tepui are sandstone rocks and date back to the period when America and Africa formed a supercontinent. This type of relief is commonly known as the Guayanés Massif.
The park is home to the Pemón people. These have a relationship with the tepuyes and believe that they are the home of the "Mawari" spirits. The park is in a place far from civilization. It has few roads that connect with other nearby cities, such as Ciudad Guayana. The most common means of transport to cross it is through canoes.
Points of tourist attraction:
- Angel jump(Kerepakupai Vená, in Pemón, which means jump from the deepest place):
It is the highest waterfall in the world, with a height of 979 m (807 m of uninterrupted fall), 1 2 3 generated from the Auyantepuy. It is located in the Canaima National Park, in the state of Bolívar, Venezuela. A protected natural area, as a National Park on June 12, 1962 and declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1994, extends over an area of more than 30,000 km², to the border with Brazil and the Essequibo territory (currently in recovery). The name with which it is known internationally, Salto Angel, was suggested by a Venezuelan in honor of the American aviator Jimmie Angel, who in 1937 collaborated more formally on the existence and exact location of the fall by flying over it in his plane and later to rest on its peak, giving it a worldwide impact. In the 21st century, she was one of the 28 finalists in the election of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
