Angel Falls is the largest uninterrupted waterfall in the entire world. It is located in the western part of Guayana Highlands in Canaima National Park. The waterfall is over 3,000 feet tall, about 15 times taller than the world famous Niagara Falls. The water from Angel Falls flows from the Carrao River and drops into what is called "Devil Canyon."
The waterfall is named after an American pilot named James Angel who was flying over the land and discovered the falls in 1933. He returned in 1937 and due to engine troubles, he had to land atop of the falls. Today, a replica plane sits atop of the falls in honor of James Angel. Angel Falls brings tourist from all over the world to witness its beauty and is a major landmark and natural beauty of Venezuela.
