The Pará Falls (Salto Pará) are large waterfalls on the Caura River in Bolívar, Venezuela. The falls are located 210 kilometres (130 mi) upstream from the confluence of the Caura and Orinoco, and are considered the boundary between the upper and lower sections of the river. Due to the difficulty of portaging past the falls, they are a traditional boundary for the Ye'kuana and Kalina tribes. French naturalist Eugène André was the first European to describe the falls, on his 1900 exploration of the Caura River. In an article for The Geographical Journal he wrote:

| - El Salto Pará es la segunda catarata más grande del mundo (por anchura total) y la más grande de América, con un ancho de 5.608 m y en el cual se divide y desciende en siete inmensas torrenteras. Este salto está ubicado vía Caicara del Orinoco, estado Bolívar, cerca de la población Maripa, en la Cuenca del Caura, Venezuela El Salto Pará, o Kuyuwishodü, como es conocido por los indígenas de la zona, es un accidente geográfico que rompe abruptamente el cauce del río Caura, estableciendo la división entre el bajo y el alto Caura. Existen opciones para realizar tours o recorridos de turismo aventura, desde el campamento más cercano, llamado El Playón, hasta el sector del salto, transitando un camino entre la selva. El volumen de agua del Salto Pará supera al de las famosas Cataratas Victoria de África y al de Cataratas del Iguazú en la frontera Brasil-Argentina. (es)
- The Pará Falls (Salto Pará) are large waterfalls on the Caura River in Bolívar, Venezuela. The falls are located 210 kilometres (130 mi) upstream from the confluence of the Caura and Orinoco, and are considered the boundary between the upper and lower sections of the river. Due to the difficulty of portaging past the falls, they are a traditional boundary for the Ye'kuana and Kalina tribes. French naturalist Eugène André was the first European to describe the falls, on his 1900 exploration of the Caura River. In an article for The Geographical Journal he wrote: "The falls of Pará constitute a formidable barrier to the navigation of the Caura. Just above the falls the river divides to form an island of between 7 and 9 miles in length. By a succession of cataracts, the two streams rush through gorges on each side of the island to meet at its foot. The right-hand stream is of much greater volume than that on the left, which, after a severe drought, dries almost completely up." In 1976 the state owned power company CADAFE studied the Pará falls as a potential site for a hydroelectric plant. These plans were later dropped due to unsuitable geology. As there are no roads in the area, the falls are most easily reached by boat. (en)
