Peaks
Access a structured inventory of the distinct peaks and high elevation points identified across the table-top mountains of Canaima National Park. This resource organizes summits to provide insight into the vertical geography of the park, covering the unique ridge systems and massif elevations that define the Guayana Highlands environment.
Waterfalls
A waterfall is a named point or reach where a river or stream descends abruptly over a vertical face, steep rock step, or sequence of drops. Its form may reflect resistant rock layers, faulting, glacial hanging valleys, lava flows, river incision, or changing channel geometry. The category includes single drops and cascades recognized as one feature but does not imply perennial flow or a particular height.
Mountain ranges
A mountain range is an extended system of connected mountains, peaks, ridges, and intervening highland terrain linked by geography, structure, or geological history. Ranges can span regions and countries and may contain smaller massifs, subranges, plateaus, valleys, and basins. The category represents the broad mountain system rather than any single summit or compact mountain block.
Rivers
A river is a substantial natural watercourse that flows through a defined channel toward another river, lake, wetland, sea, or inland basin. Its system may include tributaries, distributaries, floodplains, seasonal reaches, gorges, waterfalls, and deltas far beyond any single mapped park relationship. The distinction from a stream depends on local convention, scale, and source usage rather than one universal rule.
