The southeastern interior is anchored by Canaima National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site the size of Belgium. The landscape is dominated by quartz-sandstone tepuis that date back over two billion years. Rivers stained black by decomposed plant matter feed immense lagoons and waterways, acting as the sole transport routes for indigenous Pemon guides leading travellers toward the base of Auyán-tepui.

Further east, the forest opens into the rolling grasslands of the Gran Sabana. This plateau provides the only trekking access to Mount Roraima, a sheer-sided table mountain whose summit is a labyrinth of black sandstone formations, carnivorous plants, and endemic black frogs that cannot hop. The mountain’s vertical cliffs isolate it completely from the savannah floor below.
