Salto Kamá (Kamá-Merú)

Salto Kamá — also called Kamá-Merú — is a 50-metre waterfall right at the edge of the main road, signposted between Luepa and Kavanayén. Park, walk down a short path through scrubby savanna, and you arrive at a viewpoint over the pool at the base.

There is a Pemón community camp here offering basic accommodation, simple meals, and a viewing platform. Compared with the harder-to-reach Aponwao, Kamá is a quick stop — but it is one of the most reliably impressive cascades you can see from your vehicle in the Gran Sabana. Best in the wet season, when the flow widens into a curtain.

A story
The Pemón community at the base of the falls runs a small camp with hammock shelters and traditional churuata huts. Sleeping with the roar of the waterfall coming through the thatched roof is one of the genuine experiences of the Gran Sabana.
