Visit Angel Falls
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To see this giant stream of water falling is an emotional
experience that can’t be equaled. Angel falls, tumbles freely for some 807
meters. The cataract continues through almost another 172 meters of less rugged
fall until it meets the jungle floor of a valley. The river then flows on and
eventually joins with other streams to meet the Orinoco.
Angel Falls the highest
waterfall in the world is also the most isolated one, the nearest road ends110
miles to the north.
The jungle and
mountain region is practically uninhabited. Indians shun the area of the falls,
believing it to be a mystic land of the thereafter. Surely, it isn't difficult
to imagine the awe of the Indians. Frequently Auyantepui remains shrouded in
clouds, and the falls seem to valley viewers to be tumbling from an obscure
heaven.
Angel Falls is a unique
and breathtaking natural wonder consider by many people as the eighth natural
wonder of the world. From 1940 Angel falls is an UNESCO World Heritage
Site.
Angel Falls - Getting there
The best way to get to the Angel Falls is to rent a plane to the village of
Canaima from Caracas (the capital of Venezuela), Puerto Ordaz or Ciudat Bolivar. After you get to Canaima you will
take a river trip to the Angel Falls trail.
When to visit Angel Falls
It is best advised to visit the Angel Falls during the rainy between May and
November, as the falls will have a more spectacular view. But if you can’t arrange a trip during this period the
Angel Falls will still be worth to see.
