Angel Falls Pemon language: Kerepakupai
Vená, meaning "waterfall of the deepest place", or Parakupá
Vená, meaning "the fall from the highest point") is a waterfall
in Venezuela.
It is the world's highest waterfall,
with a height of 979 m and a plunge of 807 m. The waterfall drops
over the edge of the Auyantepui mountain
in the Canaima National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Gran Sabana region
of Bolívar State.
The height figure 979 m mostly consists of the main plunge but also
includes about 400 m of sloped cascades and rapids below the drop and a 30 m high
plunge downstream of the talus rapids.
The
base of the falls feeds into the Kerep River (alternatively known as the Río
Gauya), which flows into the Churun River, a tributary of the Carrao River.For more details, please, follow this link:
