Angel Falls (Salto Angel) is the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall, plunging 979 metres from the summit of Auyantepui table mountain in the Canaima National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The water free-falls 807 metres before hitting a lower cliff and continuing another 172 metres, generating so much mist that it rarely reaches the base in liquid form, instead dissolving into spray visible kilometres away. The best way to experience it is by small aircraft from Canaima village, followed by a motorised dugout canoe journey through jungle tributaries, ideally from June to November when rainfall keeps the falls at full flow.
