Angel Falls

Angel Falls are in Venezuela and is the tallest waterfall in the world at over 3200 feet and a main plunge of over 2600 feet. The falls seem to come out of the side of the rock face because they form a small gorge at the top of the plateau and then fall from where they reach the rock face.
The falls are often shrouded in clouds and are difficult to view reliably. They are also difficult to visit as they are in a remote jungle region of Venezuela that requires laborious travel to get to. This is on a list of places I would like to visit but because it is difficult to get there it probably won't happen for many years.

    It's actually not really too hard to get to. A plane ride, an overnight in the jungle, traveling via canoe for 2 days, and some hiking. If I could do it.... I'll go again if you want company!!
