Río Churun

Río Churun is a river in Venezuela within the Orinoco basin and Canaima National Park. It feeds Angel Falls, the world's highest waterfall, before emptying into the Carrao River. (Locals often distinguish this river from Angel Falls, which is frequently mislabeled as Churun Meru by outsiders instead of its indigenous Pemon name, Kerepacupai Meru).

Angel Falls is not Churun-Meru, it is KEREPACUPAI-MERU.

A natural landmark in the Kavac community at the base of the massive Auyantepuy tepui in Canaima National Park.
