Angel Falls
Angel Falls, the world's highest known waterfall. It is in the Guiana Highlands of southeastern Venezuela, on the Churún River, a tributary of the Caroní. Angel Falls consists of a single plume of water during the dry season but increases to multiple plumes during the rainy season. The water plunges a total distance of 3,212 feet (979 m).
The wild surrounding jungle and its remote location make the cataract almost inaccessible. Angel Falls was discovered in 1937 by James Angel, an American flier.
