The highest waterfall in the world is Angel Falls, located in Venezuela. With a total height of 979 meters (3,212 feet) and a plunge of 807 meters (2,648 feet), it is one of the most impressive natural wonders in the world.

Angel Falls is located in the Canaima National Park in the Gran Sabana region of Venezuela. The waterfall is named after the American aviator Jimmy Angel, who was the first person to fly over the falls in 1933.

Angel Falls is formed by the waters of the Churun River, which drops off the edge of the Auyantepui mountain in the Venezuelan Guiana Highlands. The falls are surrounded by lush rainforest, and visitors can take a boat or hike to the base of the falls for a closer look.
