Located 22 km from San Francisco de Yurani, the Cuquenan Falls, also known as Kukenam, is the second tallest major waterfall in Venezuela and it is amongst the ten highest free leaping waterfalls of the world. The falls is originated on the Kukenan Tepui, a flat-topped mountain with vertical sides, and drops incredibly in a single leap from a height of around 2200 feet (670 m) until trickles down towards the base of the mountain.
