English: Cachamay Falls, in Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela, in february 1979. The falls where about 1,500m long. They have been 500m long since the construction of the Macagua II dam and hydroelectric power plant. The flowthrough is also much lower, since most of the water is derouted to the turbines (as seen in an 2009 photo).
Español: Salto de Cachamay, en Puerto Ordaz (Ciudad Guayana, Venezuela). Este salto tenía una longitud de 1500 m, aproximadamente, reducidos a unos 500 (de manera discontinua) por el aprovechamiento hidroeléctrico de las aguas del Caroní, represadas en la central hidroeléctrica de Macagua II. Foto antigua, antes de la construcción de dicha central hidroeléctrica, por lo que la imagen es tan sólo un documento histórico. Autor: Fev. Año 1979.

Elles sont aujourd'hui réduite à une longueur de 500m depuis la construction du barrage et de la centrale hydroélectrique Macagua II. Leur débit est plus faible (comme on peut le voir sur une photo de 2009, une grande partie de l'eau étant déroutée vers les turbines.
