Angel falls is the highest waterfall in the world. It is located in the lonely jungles of Venezuela. The best way to get to the falls is by air.

From the top to the bottom, the waterfall is 3,212 feet, over 1,000 feet higher than any other falls in the world. It looks like a sliver thread hanging from the clouds. Visitors can see spectacular scenery at the falls. Water drops straight down the cliff and tumbles and foams over the lower canyon wall. The fine spray catches the light and sparkles in the sun.

The falls were named after Jimmie Angel. He was a pilot and he discovered the falls in 1937. However, the local people already knew it and called it Churun Meru.
