Salto Angel Waterfall, known as 'Salto Ángel' in Spanish, is the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall, located in the Canaima National Park of Venezuela. Its height is an impressive 979 meters (3,212 feet), with a continuous drop of 807 meters (2,648 feet). The waterfall is named after Jimmy Angel, an American aviator who was the first to fly over it in 1933.
The water cascades over the edge of the Auyán-tepui, a flat-topped mountain that is one of the many tepuis in the region. Canaima National Park, which encompasses Salto Angel, is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its unique biodiversity and stunning landscapes. The park is home to various species, many of which are endemic to the area.
Visiting Salto Angel typically involves a journey by boat up the Carrao River, followed by a hike through the lush rainforest. The area is known for its diverse ecosystem, including unique flora and fauna, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers.
