The Salto Aponguao is one of the most stunning waterfalls in La Gran Sabana in southeastern Venezuela. It requires some effort to get there, but it is well worth it, as the 105 m (344 feet) high waterfall is spectacular.

You can get there via the Indian village of Iboribó. Ask local to take you across the Río Aponguao by curiara (dugout canoe), from where a marked path leads to the falls. At the foot of the Salto Apongao you can swim in the natural pools that have formed there.

You can camp not far from the falls and you can get to the village of Iboribó, by boat on the Río Aponguao, although boats can take you right up to the falls as well. It is also possible to travel 40 km (25 miles) on unpaved roads to the village, after leaving the highway that runs through the region.
