waterfalls Ángel

in #photography9 years ago

The Angel Falls is the highest freefalling waterfall in the world. It is located in the highlands of Guyana in Venezuela on the Carrao River, which is one of the tributaries of the Orinoco.

In 1910, the waterfall was discovered by the Spanish explorer Ernesto Sanchos La Cruz, but world fame gained thanks to the American pilot and gold digger James Crawford Angel.

In 1949 an expedition of the National Geographic Community of the USA was sent to the waterfall, which determined the main parameters of Angel. And in 1993, UNESCO introduced the waterfall on the World Heritage List of Humanity. Now Angel is in the territory of the Canaima National Park and is considered the main attraction of Venezuela.


The waterfall is surrounded by tropical forests and there are no special roads to it. Therefore, tourists are brought to Angel by air in a light airplane or by water on a canoe with a motor. The most desperate thrill-seekers can jump off the edge of the plateau on a hang-glider.
