Parque Cachamay is Ciudad Guayana's main green space, built around the Cachamay waterfalls on the Caroní River where it passes through the urban area. The falls are modest in scale but the surrounding forest park is a genuine relief from the industrial landscape of the rest of the city. There are walking paths along the riverbank, and the sound and spray of the falls make it a pleasant spot to spend an hour or two.
The park is free to enter and popular with local families on weekends. Capybaras sometimes wander the grounds near the river, and the birdlife in the gallery forest is worth attention — this stretch of the Caroní corridor is an important bird migration route.
