La Gran Sabana (The Great Savannah) is one of the
most ancient geological formations in the planet. It is a surface
cut by a large number of Caroní river tributaries, that formed
rounded hills and craggy tablelands, surrounded by these table-shaped
formations called “tepuy”. Today you can still enjoy
the ancient enchantment of the virgin nature full of misteries.
