Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world
In the Western sector of the Canaima National Park, there is the Auyantepuy, one of the most famous tepuyes. (The tepuyes are those flat mountains that end with immense vertical walls.) From that tepuy Angel Falls is born, with its 979 meters of free fall, the highest in the world.
There are two ways to see the Angel Falls. One is from the air, by plane and the other is on an excursion that departs from the Ucaima port in Canaima, and lasts more than 3 hours navigating the Carrao river and then the Churún. From the Churún River, to the Angel Falls viewpoint, you should walk approximately one hour through the jungle. To see a presentation (type "Slide Show") of the tour
The Angel Falls and its name:
The Salto Angel has that name, in honor of the man who discovered it in 1937, the American adventurer and aviator Jimmy Angel. However, the indigenous people of the area, the Pemones, had already known it before and had baptized it as Churún Merú.
Excursions near Angel Falls:
Another place from where you can see the Angel Falls and the Auyantepuy in all its beauty, is from the island Mouse.
If you ever have the opportunity, do not miss going to the foot of Angel Falls. Those views will remain etched in your mind for your entire life.
