Venezuela is known for having the world's highest waterfall, Angel Falls (Salto Ángel). Located in the Canáma National Park, it plunges an impressive 979 meters (3,212 feet) from the top of the Auyán-tepui mountain. Discovered in 1933 by an American explorer, it is named after Jimmy Angel, who was the first to fly over it. The breathtaking sight of the falls is complemented by the surrounding lush vegetation and diverse wildlife, making it a popular destination for adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts.
