kako paru (quebrada de japse)

Kako Paru (Quebrada de Jaspe) is a small set waterfalls in a forested creek. The name means fire creek in Pemon and stems from the extraordinary effect water has on the jasper bed of the river. The action of water polishes this otherwise dull stone to a fire orange and red colour. The river is very close to the main highway and camping is easy nearby. A stall sells soft drinks in the high season.
