A natural landmark in the Kavac community at the base of the massive Auyantepuy tepui in Canaima National Park. The primary attraction is a trek to the Cueva de Kavac, a waterfall inside a narrow rock gorge. Visitors arrive by small plane and stay in indigenous Pemon villages in traditional huts called churuatas (Auyantepuy is the tabletop mountain where Angel Falls is located).
A nocturnal, fruit-eating bird (oilbird) that lives in the first gallery of caves. Its name is onomatopoeic, derived from the Quechua word waqay, meaning to shriek or cry, describing its characteristic call (it is an iconic bird in Venezuela, famously inhabiting the Cueva del Guácharo).
A national park in eastern Venezuela located in the Caripe Mountain Range between the states of Monagas and Sucre (it is famous for its massive limestone cave system and the nocturnal oilbirds, or guacharos, that live there).
