Llovizna Falls

Llovizna Falls

Llovizna falls, on the River Caroní, close to its confluence with the River Orinoco, are located in the Llovizna Park, Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela. The nearby Macagua hydroelectric power station has reduced the flow over the waterfall in recent years, but the cascade continues to be spectacular and returns to its former glory several times a year when the floodgates of the dam are opened.

"(Llovizna - "yoviz-nah", is Spanish for mist, drizzle, spray)."
