With a height in excess of 2000', Salto Yutaj? is referred to as the second tallest waterfall in Venezuela by some sources. In appearance, this is somewhat like Norway's Tyssestrengene in that it is a segmented plunge, followed by interstitial cascades, then another steep drop. The upper drop bears a rather uncanny resemblance to British Columbia's Hunlen Falls as well. Thanks to Enrique Nevett Gim?n for the pictures.
