Canaima Park is famous for its incredible scenery, tabletop mountains (tepuis) and breathtaking waterfalls. These tepuis are all that remains of the original sandstone that covered the region millions of years ago. As the sandstone eroded only these "rock islands" were left. The tepuis are surrounded with native grass, bushes and flowers in the vast, wild, grassy highland, and each mountain has developed its own characteristic plant life. Consequently, the area has highest percentage of endemic flora to be found anywhere in the world.
