Travel Guide Quebrada Del Jaspe

(Km 273,5). This is one of the main beauties of Gran Sabana, declared natural monument by the Government of Venezuela. This small waterfall in the forest is a real natural marvel and an exceptional geological phenomenon: at the foot of the fall is a water net of 10 m wide and 30 cm deep on a bed of jaspe (a semi-precious red and yellow stone). A show that continues on a one kilometre journey. For good pictures, go around midday, when the sun is at the zenith and penetrates through the forest. The jaspe is a stone of volcanic origin; Thanks to the water and the sun, its brightness is extremely beautiful. The Pémons call it «kakó», which means fire. There's a giant churuata to install his hammock and another little to get a picnic and put your tent underneath. See Avec, the guardian of the temple.
