The city
Pemón village on the shore of Laguna de Canaima, in Parque Nacional Canaima, the starting point for Salto Ángel. The airstrip is next to the houses, and the lagoon, a few minutes on foot, receives the waterfalls of the Carrao River, with tepuis in the background. There is no road: everything arrives by small plane, and excursions are by boat and on foot, with pemón guides.

The local experience
The tea-colored lagoon in front of the village, where the Carrao River falls in a sequence of wide waterfalls, such as the saltos Hacha, Golondrina, Ucaima and Wadaima, with a pink-sanded beach, palm trees and the tepuis in the background.
The waterfall of the Carrao River, on the island opposite the village of Canaima, behind which a trail carved into the rock passes: the visitor goes through the curtain of water from one side to the other.
The highest waterfall in the world, with 979 meters total height and 807 meters of free fall, on the cliff of Auyantepui. It is reached by motor canoe along the Carrao and Churún rivers during the high-water season, or by plane overflight.
