Angel Falls in Venezuela is the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall at 979 meters, about 15 times the height of Niagara Falls.
Venezuela was named 'Little Venice' by European explorers who saw indigenous stilt houses along Lake Maracaibo.
Angel Falls plunging from the tepui plateau is the most awe-inspiring natural sight I have ever witnessed.
- A traveler on visiting Venezuela
Venezuela is home to some of South America's most dramatic natural wonders, including Angel Falls, the world's tallest waterfall, plunging from the ancient tabletop mountains known as tepuis. The country offers Caribbean beaches along its northern coast, the vast Llanos grasslands teeming with wildlife, and a section of the Amazon rainforest. Despite its challenges, Venezuela's natural beauty, from the Canaima National Park to the Andean towns of Merida, remains truly spectacular.
