Uraima Falls - Located in the mountainous southern part of Estado Bolivar, Uraima Falls effectively separates the headwaters of the Rio Paragua from its lower reachesi.  During the region's dry season, payara pursue huge schools of baitfish up the river and to the Falls.  Bait and predators alike pile up below the Falls in the spectacular rocky waters.  Excellent daily catch averages (typically 6 - 20 big fish per day) and more trophy payara (up to 40 pounds) than anywhere else in the world.
