Cuquenan Falls: çevrede ne var, nasıl gidilir ve ne zaman · 2026
Expedition researchers and remote field staff must haul every piece of equipment across rugged terrain, relying entirely on local porters and off-grid camps.
Cuquenan Falls drops directly from the sheer sandstone cliffs of Kukenan Tepui into the river basin below.
The waterfall forms a continuous vertical plunge from the top of the plateau, trailing only Angel Falls among national cascades in total descent. Water drains directly across the summit tableland before tumbling down the vertical sandstone escarpment. The falling torrent shifts with seasonal rainfall patterns, transitioning between heavy mist columns and powerful open streams.
