Angel Falls
Venezuela, Canaima National Park

The highest waterfall on the planet. The giant of the 1st magnitude bears the name of its discoverer - the Venezuelan pilot Juan Angel, the Indians also called the waterfall Apemei or Maiden's brow. An incredible drop of water fall - the first jump from the cliff to the first obstacle - 807 meters and the second - 172 to the lake in the jungle, which totals - 979 meters !!! Angel Falls is located in the southeast of Venezuela - this is a rather remote place, accessible only to persistent researchers, but now it’s not difficult to get there. The first path - the river from Puerto Ordaz to Orinoco is approximately 240 km; and the second way - a flight from Eldorado and Santa Elena - about 120 and 240 km. For tourists, the most acceptable means of transport will be - canoeing with a motor or a small light aircraft. For lovers of thrills, there is an incredible opportunity that should not be missed - a jump from a plateau on a glider. local tribes of the Indians know this waterfall under the name - Churun-Meru, and the plateau is called - Auyan-Tepui, which means "Devil's Mountains". This name is fully justified when the mountains are covered with dense fog. From afar it’s mono to see a thin white strip that starts at the edge of the cliff and gradually turns into an incredible stream of spray and water dust. In rainy weather, this regal waterfall is surrounded by a huge number of smaller streams of water escaping under a cliff from cracks in the sandstone. This spectacle is simultaneously incredibly majestic and elegant in its simplicity, worthy of the title of the highest waterfall in the world.
