Angel Falls, Venezuela
Venezuela is brimming with natural beauties, including the world's tallest waterfall, Angel Falls, which is located in the UNESCO-protected Canaima National Park. Canaima is by far the most popular attraction in the nation, with falls that are 19 times higher than Niagara Falls.
Angel Falls is in fact the highest waterfall in the World. In Spanish, its name is Salto Angel and it falls from a height of 3230 feet with an uninterrupted drop of an incredible 2647 feet.
During the rainy season, Angel Falls creates its own weather. At certain times of the year, those within a one-kilometer radius of the falls can feel the mist settling on their skin. Angel Falls is three times as tall as the Paris landmark, the Eiffel Tower. Canaima National Park is divided into two sections: west and east. Angel Falls is located in the western sector.
Angel Falls is one of Venezuela's most popular tourist destinations, but getting there is a complex process. The falls are located in a remote area of the woods. To reach Canaima camp, the starting point for river expeditions to the foot of the falls, a flight from Maiquetia Airport, Puerto Ordaz, or Ciudad Bolvar is necessary. River expeditions are typically held from June through December when the rivers are deep enough for the Pemon guides to utilize. There is less water visible during the dry season (December to March) than during the other months.
