Canaima, Venezuela

About Laguna de Canaima

A lagoon inside the UNESCO-listed Canaima National Park, fed by a row of waterfalls — Hacha, Golondrina, Ucaima and Wadaima — whose tannin-stained water looks red-brown, with pink sand beaches and flat-topped tepuis on the horizon. It's the gateway for trips to Angel Falls. Several governments advise against travel to Venezuela; check current advisories before planning a trip.

Salto El Sapo

A waterfall near Canaima Lagoon, reached by a short boat ride and walk, where a path leads behind the curtain of falling water — expect to get completely soaked, so bring a dry bag. It's usually visited on a half-day guided tour from Canaima village. Several governments advise against travel to Venezuela; check current advisories before planning a trip.
