In this region live the Indians Kamaratas and 10km from the foot of Angel Falls is the Indian village of Uruyen. This waterfall is located in the Canaima National Park, in Bolivar state. In 1937, an American pilot Jimmie Angel (1899-1956) was in the area in search of gold and had to make an emergency landing his plane on top of Auyantepui.
A spectacular way to end and know in depth the Auyán tepui and approach to the base of Angel Falls, is sailing along the rivers that are the only open roads in the jungle. One option - the most used by visitors is up the river from Canaima Lagoon. The other two day-long (one way) is from Kavak, a small Indian camp, which is accessed as in our case walking or flying from Canaima in one of the traditional tours offered in the area .
In 10 minutes we had found another beautiful waterfall about 3 m high, which also fell on a jasper. And the stone is still far above the main waterfall. I was excited enough and walked to find a second waterfall, bigger than previous and more beautiful too. She must be about 6 m, but is simply beautiful. I think it was worth into the woods, I found that very few have seen in this place: two beautiful waterfalls completely solitary.

Beautiful rivers with water like yellow gold coins, but completely clear. The river was a small waterfall that served as a shower where the hot water fell in contrast to the tremendous cold had on the River. It has lots of stones, so it was necessary to walk rather carefully because they move and can be a fall. Here I also decided to go down the river to see what was, and type ps I found a waterfall slide that slid by some low-rise slabs. The place was very nice, rather beautiful.
We headed for the Rapids of Kamoirán for the sole reason that the bus was running out of gasoline. There, while the bus was filling up the tank, we saw this incredible beautiful waterfall that falls from a steep drop of 10 m. Below are many rapids, excellent for rafting.
