Angel Falls, Venezuela


The next stop on this journey is a trip into the wilderness of Venezuela, to Angel Falls.  Angel Falls is the the world's tallest uninterrupted waterfall at a height of 979m (3212ft).  The name of the falls actually does not come from its "heavenly" height, but from Jimmie Angel who was the first aviator to fly over it.  While this location is a famous tourist destination, it is not the easiest to get to.  A plane ride is required to get to the base camp and for boats to get there it has to be during the wet season, otherwise the boats are not able to make it through.  

Today I've included a bonus photo due to the amazingness of this site.



I really hope to make these adventures with someone someday, for it will be a truly great adventure.
