ANGEL FALLS - VENEZUELA ( largest waterfall in the world)

a waterfall Angel Falls is located in Canaima National Park, declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1994. A whim of nature full of rivers, rainforests and 115 tepuys, high rocky plateaus of Precambrian origin, with almost geometric edges Chiseled by erosion for millions of years. The geologists agree in dating this place as prior to the irruption of life on the planet, but there is not much unanimity about who discovered the Angel Falls. Venezuelans attribute it to explorer Ernesto Sánchez, who in 1910 notified the discovery to the Ministry of Mines and Hydrocarbons in Caracas. The story, however, has wanted to leave as its discoverer the American pilot Jimmy Angel, who in 1937 accidentally landed on the top of the tepuy becoming officially the first human being who put his foot on the Auyantepuy, data more than enough to baptize the waterfall as Angel Falls in his honor.

Along the way, almost certainly we will visit some capricious rain and we can aspire the aroma of wet forest, discover how the lack of nutrients in the soil leads the trees to unfold the roots on the surface in search of decaying organic matter, contemplate the colorful plumage of the macaws, feel at the mercy of the river in Mayupa rapids and listen to the deafening roar of the falls that fall from the tepuys. Because, although the waterfall Angel Falls is the most famous, along the entire cutting of the Auyantepuy there are magnificent waterfalls -like the Churún-Merú- that plunge into the void surrounded by enigmatic clouds of steam. A fascinating image that inspired the scenography of the movie Avatar, by James Cameron, or even the top where the house with balloons of Disney Up animated film rested.
