Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

The Auyantepuy Waterfalls (or Auyantepui Waterfalls) were basically waterfalls that lept off the Auyantepui plateau.

We just so happened to have noticed them while doing the overflight of Angel Falls as well as during the river transport portion of the land tour to Angel Falls.

Of course, in order to even entertain the aerial option, we had to have good weather (which we were very lucky to have as a storm was clearing on the day we did the overflight) as we were then on our way back to Ciudad Bolivar from Canaima.

I’ve decided to dedicate a page to these waterfalls since there were quite a few of them that we couldn’t allow to be forgotten into obscurity without at least getting some love from us.

While there might have been a few “permanent” waterfalls, most of them were probably ephemeral so the ones that I was able to photograph may not be there on a different visit.

In any case, the quantity of waterfalls from the high rainfall and condensation in this unique ecosystem was very remarkable.

I wasn’t sure if there were other ways to visit these waterfalls from dedicated trails or specific ground tours given how remote this area was, but it made the overflight and the usual boat/hike tour to Angel Falls all the more magical.

Authorities

The Auyantepuy Waterfalls reside in Canaima National Park in the Bolivar state. To my knowledge, there doesn’t appear to be an official governmental authority directly managing Canaima National Park. For information or inquiries about the general area as well as current conditions, the closest authoritative source of information that I could find was the UNESCO World Heritage Centre website.
