The name of the highest waterfall in the world is Angel Falls, located in Venezuela’s Canaima National Park. Angel Falls, known as Salto Ángel in Spanish, plunges an impressive 3,212 feet (979 meters) from the top of a table-top mountain called Auyán-tepui. It is named after Jimmy Angel, an American aviator who was the first to fly over the falls in 1933. The waterfall is renowned for its breathtaking beauty and the surrounding lush rainforest, which is home to diverse flora and fauna. Angel Falls is a popular destination for adventure tourism and nature enthusiasts.
