The mysticism of Venezuela Gran Sabana is evident from the falls also. The Jaspe Falls over jasper rock, a stone more attractive than marble, lends amazing orange, yellow and red hues to the water. Aponwao Falls in the course of Curiara River is another fascinating geographical feature. A sudden drop of about 105 meters in the river bed has given rise to this waterfall. The spectacular sight with the accompanying thundering roar of the tumbling water makes the Aponwao Falls incredible.
