The Highest Waterfall on Earth
Angel Falls is located in Venezuela, in the south-eastern part of the country. It holds a remarkable title: it is the highest uninterrupted waterfall in the world, with water plunging hundreds of metres down a single dramatic drop.
A Fall From a Table-Top Mountain
What makes Angel Falls so extraordinary is where it begins. The water spills from the top of a tepui - a flat-topped table mountain - called Auyan-tepui. These ancient, sheer-sided plateaus rise abruptly from the surrounding jungle in Venezuelas Guiana Highlands. The drop is so tall that, in the dry season, much of the water turns to mist before it even reaches the ground.
Hidden Deep in the Jungle
Angel Falls lies within Canaima National Park, surrounded by dense, remote rainforest. It is so hard to reach that visitors usually view it from the air or by a combination of river boat and jungle hike. The falls take their English name from Jimmie Angel, an American aviator who flew over them in the 1930s and brought them to wider attention.
