It’s worth going to Venezuela in search of the highest waterfall in the world. It is here that a beautiful Angel Falls found its place. The waterfall originates at the top of the Auyán-tepui Mountain and is surrounded by impenetrable rainforests. Its height is 1054 meters. Currently the natural landmark of world importance is situated in a nature reserve of Canaima. Angel Falls has a very interesting history of its own discovery.
According to official figures, Ernesto Sanchez La Cruz was the fall’s discoverer, but the exact date of its finding is listed a little bit later. In 1933 an American pilot James Angel researched Auyán-tepui mountain areas in search of ore deposits. It was he who first flew over the mighty waterfall and informed local residents about its existence. The aircraft that has made a remarkable discovery has the status of an important monument today and is installed in one of the nearby towns.
