Deep Within Canaima National Park Located in the heart of Venezuela’s Canaima National Park, Angel Falls stands amidst a dense jungle, 600 kilometers from civilization. This natural wonder is known globally as “Angel Falls,” derived from the Spanish pronunciation of its discoverer’s name. Locally, the Pemon Indians call it “Kerepakupai Mero,” meaning “waterfall of the deepest place.”
A Haven for Biodiversity The surrounding jungle is home to an array of wildlife, including jaguars, pumas, monkeys, giant anteaters, and iguanas. The region’s flora boasts over 300 plant species, many of which are endemic and found nowhere else on Earth.
