Auyantepuy Waterfalls (or Auyantepui Waterfalls)

An impressive cascade leaping off the Auyantepuy near Angel Falls


The Auyantepuy Waterfalls (or Auyantepui Waterfalls) are basically waterfalls that leap off the Auyantepui plateau. While there are a few more "permanent" waterfalls, most of them are ephemeral so the ones that I was able to photograph may not be there on a different visit. Nonetheless, the quantity of waterfalls from the high rainfall and condensation in this unique ecosystem is what moves me to create this page as a tribute to this phenomena. The waterfalls you see on this page are primarily seen on both the
Angel Falls excursion (during the river riding portion) as well as from the air in an overflight.
