1 Angel Falls Venezuela… Made by Yegorov Alexandr Gysakov Alexey Nickolayev Stas Kurchavov Igor‘ Kalantaryan Artak

2 Angel Falls is located in the Guayana highlands, and it is just one of the five great adventure regions of Venezuela. The water comes in a free fall of 979 meters from the Churum river hovering of the edge of the "Auyantepuy" Table mountain, this the largest Tepuy (table mountain) in Canaima Venezuela. This height makes it the highest waterfall in the world.

He saw the waterfall for the first time in 1933 with his partner while searching for the legendary McCracken River of Gold, or the Golden City.

6 Jimmy Angel and his three companions managed to descend from Tepuy and return to the civilization walking through the jungle for 11 days. Angel's plane is currently in the Aviation Museum in Maracay, and nowadays on top of the Auyantepuy you will find a replica of Jimmys airplane.
