ITEM: Cap
NOTES: A vivid colourful cap depicting a vivid colourful area. Canaima National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Canaima) in south-eastern Venezuela is a beautiful, stunningly diverse, gigantic (30,000 km²) national park (the sixth largest in the world). The park is home to indigenous Pemon Indians, part of the Carib linguistic group. The park is relatively remote, with only a few roads connecting towns. Most transport within the park is done by light plane from the airstrips built by various Capuchin missions, or by foot and canoe. Pemons have developed some basic and luxurious camps, which are mainly visited by tourists from across the world.

The front of the cap appears to be hand painted and is quite beautiful for a souvenir.
