Life around a beautiful lagoon
Canaima is the starting point for a boat trip to Salto Angel Waterfall. At the same time, it is a very beautifully situated village by a picturesque lagoon with several waterfalls and, as a bonus, a view of the Table Mountains.
Canaim Lagoon
If we do not count the local airport, the center of life in Canaima is the beautiful lagoon overlooking the waterfalls and table mountains.
Lagoon on the other side
The subsoil is colorful here, so the water also has a quite interesting color. You can bathe here without fear that the river will take you somewhere to the waterfall.
Salto Ucaima Waterfall
The lagoon includes three waterfalls – Salto Ucaima, Salto Golondrina and Salto Hacha. However, since they are quite next to each other, no one really solves which is which. The main thing is that they are nice.
Life by the lagoon
Local women also use the waters of the lagoon to wash dishes or do laundry.
Tourist lodge in Canaima

Children, as everywhere in the world, are smiling and happy to show themselves to you.
Church in Canaima
It should come as no surprise that the most exhibited building in the village is the church.
Sunset over the lagoon
If the weather is nice, it is ideal to walk to the lagoon even at sunset. It's just beautiful.
