Yes, you can absolutely fly over Angel Falls, and for many travelers in 2026, this is the preferred way to see the world’s tallest uninterrupted waterfall. Located in the remote Canaima National Park in Venezuela, the falls drop from the "Auyán-tepui" mountain, an area with no road access. Scenic overflights usually depart from the village of Canaima in small 5-to-6-passenger Cessna aircraft. These "fly-overs" provide a breathtaking perspective of the 979-meter drop that you simply cannot get from the ground. The experience is highly dependent on weather; if it is too cloudy, the "tepui" (table-top mountain) will be obscured. A "pro" tip is to book your flight during the wet season (June to November) when the water volume is at its peak, creating the iconic "roaring" effect. While you can also reach the base via a multi-day river boat trip, the flight is the only way to see the "Devil’s Canyon" from above and truly grasp the immense scale of the UNESCO World Heritage landscape without the physical strain of jungle trekking.
