Jaua-Sarisariñama National Park (Spanish: Parque nacional Jaua-Sarisariñama) is situated in southern Venezuela. It was declared in 1978.

The landscape of the park is notable for three sandstone tepuis, Jaua, Sarisariñama and Guanacoco. The top of Sarisariñama is forested and has sinkholes.

  • Stefania oculosa (Spanish: Rana Stefania De Ojos Grandes)
  • Stefania percristata
  • Stefania riae
