The “Salto Angel” (Angel Falls) is the world’s highest waterfall,3 times the size of Eiffel Tower.The waterfall wasn’t known to the western world untill it was visited in 1935 by the American Aviator,James Crawford Angel on a flight whilst searching for a valuable ore bed.In 1936 he returned and landed his plane on top of the waterfall.The falls are currently named “Angel Falls” after him.The waterfall drops from the plateau of Auyan Tepui (means Devil’s mountain)which is located in the highland area known as La Gran Sabana.The region in which Angel Falls is located is covered with mesas,tropical rain forests and grasslands.The fall is 979 metres high(3212)feet and is the highest waterfall in the world.
