Angel Falls

Angel Falls, in Venezuela's Canaima National Park, is the world's tallest uninterrupted waterfall at 979 meters (3,212 feet). Named after American pilot Jimmy Angel, who crash-landed nearby in 1937, its water cascades from the tabletop mountain *Auyán-tepui* into the Devil's Canyon. The falls are most dramatic in the rainy season (June–December), though they often vanish into mist before reaching the ground. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this remote jungle spectacle embodies the raw grandeur of South America's "Lost World."
