Is Angel Falls in Africa?

Where is Angel Falls? Angel Falls (Salto Angel) is located in Chur?n Canyon (Devil's Canyon) of Auy?n Tepuy, a tabletop mountain in the Guiana Highlands in the state of Bol?var, southeastern Venezuela. Join one of the most amazing experiences of Venezuela and South America.



No, Angel Falls is not in Africa; it is located in the Bolívar State of Venezuela, South America. It is situated within the Canaima National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Angel Falls is the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall, with a staggering height of 979 meters (3,212 feet) and a plunge of 807 meters (2,648 feet). It is much taller than the more famous Victoria Falls in Africa or Niagara Falls in North America. The falls are named after Jimmie Angel, a US aviator who was the first person to fly over the falls and later landed his plane on top of Auyán-tepui mountain in 1937. Because the falls are located in an isolated jungle region, they are only accessible by air or by river boat tours, which usually take place between June and December when the river levels are high enough to support navigation. It is a stunning example of a "tepui" (table-top mountain) ecosystem.
