In the remote southern region of the Venezuelan border with Brazil, vast territories remain uncharted, with many geographical sites yet to be explored. One such site is Tamacuari Peak, a striking granite pyramid that rises 2,325 meters above sea level. This granitic mountain remains largely unexplored and continues to be a mystery in the isolated expanse of the Amazon Basin. Perhaps these color images offer one of the first glimpses of this remarkable peak, presenting it to the world for the first time. Image credits ©José Miguel Pérez-Gómez

Among these granite mountains lies Kairawe, another unexplored peak. These territories are part of the Parima-Tapirapecó National Park in Amazonas state, southern Venezuela, established in 1991. Covering an area of 31,290 km2, it is the second largest national park in the country. The park’s untouched landscapes are home to undiscovered species, waiting to be revealed by science.
