Canaima National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Canaima) is a 30,000 km² park in south-eastern Venezuela that borders Brazil and Guyana. It is located in the state of Bolívar, and was established on the 13 June 1962. It is the second largest park in the country, after Parima-Tapirapecó. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 because of the Tepuis (table-top mountains) that cover most of the park. The most famous Tepuis in the park are Monte Roraima, the largest and easiest to climb, and Auyantepui, which contains Angel Falls.
