Angel Falls

Waterfall on the River Caroní, a tributary of the Orinoco in the tropical rainforest of Bolívar Region, southeast Venezuela. It is the highest continuous cataract in the world with a total height of 978 m/3,210 ft. The falls plunge from the lip of the Auyán–Tepúplateau (Guinana Highlands). They were named after the aviator and prospector James Angel who flew over the falls and crash-landed nearby in 1935.
