The Great Savannah spreads into the regions of the Guiana Highlands and south-east into BolÃÂvar State, extending further to the borders with Brazil and Guyana. The Gran Sabana has an area of 10,820 km2 and is part of the Canaima National Park in Venezuela. The location offers one of the most unusual landscapes in the world, with rivers, waterfalls and gorges, deep and vast valleys, impenetrable jungles and Savannas that host large numbers and varieties of plant species, a diverse fauna and the isolated table-top mesas locally known as Tepuis. Currently, the Gran Sabana remains a place of high ecological value. UNESCO, proclaimed Canaima National Park a World Heritage Site in 1994. The Tepuy in the photography is known as Auyan-tepui. Each Tepui is said to be associated with ancient gods of the Indians
