Jasper Creek (Quebrada de Jaspe), located in Venezuela's Gran Sabana near Santa Elena de Uairén, is a unique natural wonder featuring a riverbed composed entirely of brilliant red jasper. Accessible via a drive from Santa Elena, often requiring a 4x4 vehicle, it is highly recommended to visit with a local guide or as part of a guided tour due to the remote location and variable road conditions, especially during the rainy season (May-November) when access can be challenging. A typical visit to the creek itself lasts 1-2 hours, allowing for swimming and photography, and is usually integrated into a longer day trip or multi-day Gran Sabana adventure. Costs primarily involve transportation (tour or vehicle rental) and guide fees, with a small potential community entrance fee. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear, bring insect repellent, and refrain from removing jasper stones to preserve this stunning geological site.
