Angel Falls

#nature
Who would not like to enjoy a landscape as natural as the Angel Falls and hope someday to enjoy this wonderful landscape for this reason I want to share the following information
In the Western sector of Canaima National Park, there is Auyantepuy, one of the best known tepuys. (The tepuyes are those flat mountains that end with immense vertical walls.) From that tepuy is born the Angel Falls, with its 979 meters of free fall, the highest in the world.
There are two ways to see Angel Falls. One of them is from the air, by plane and the other is on an excursion that starts from the Ucaima port in Canaima, and that lasts more than 3 hours sailing along the Carrao River and then on the Churún. From the Churún river to the viewpoint of the Salto Ángel, you should walk about an hour through the jungle.
The Angel Falls has that name, in honor of the man who discovered it in 1937, the American adventurer and aviator Jimmy Angel. However, the indigenous people of the area, the Pemones, already knew him before and had baptized him Churún Merú.
