| Canaima National Park is located
in the south-east of Venezuela
in Bolívar State close to the borders with Brazil and
Guyana. The park protects the north-western section of the Guayana
Shield, an ancient geological formation shared with Brazil,
the Guianas and Colombia. The park was established in 1962 with
an area of 10,000km2, but its size was increased to 30,000km2
in 1975 in order to safeguard the watershed functions of its
river basins.
