Description: Located in the massive Canaima National Park in the Gran Sabana region of Bolivar State is the world’s highest waterfall: Angel Falls. Plunging over 2,600 feet from the edge of Auyantepui Mountain, the falls are so high that the majority of the falling water dissipates into mist before reaching the Kerep River below. The falls are one of Venezuela’s biggest tourist attractions, but getting to them can be tricky. Visitors must take a flight from either Puerto Ordaz or Cuidad Volivar to Canaima camp, from which they’ll need to take a river trip to the base of the falls. If you’re looking to make the journey, be sure to come between June and December, when the water levels are high and the trip easiest.
