Cuquenan Falls is located in the mountainous region of Venezuela and is the country’s second largest and longest waterfall. It is a three-tier waterfall, with the first tier alone stretching 670 meters, making it the second tallest three-tier waterfall in the world and also known as the 11th highest “river” in terms of altitude.

Cuquenan Falls is characterized by its rugged terrain and vertical cliffs at both ends, making it a spectacular sight that attracts a large number of tourists every year. However, due to geographical conditions, limitations in surveying techniques, and varying measurement standards, the height of the waterfall and its ranking in the world have been the subject of much controversy. This has led to a significant discrepancy in the ranking of Cuquenan Falls among the world’s longest waterfalls, ranging from second place to twentieth place, with different publications and websites providing varying rankings.
