This waterfall was one of the 28 finalists in the choice of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Although this waterfall is one of the most-visited tourist attractions in the country, it is difficult to access, since the trip is quite complicated.

While Angel Falls in Venezuela is a breathtaking natural marvel and the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall, it is not officially listed as one of the "New Seven Wonders of the World." The official list, established by the New7Wonders Foundation in 2007, includes the Great Wall of China, Petra, the Colosseum, Chichén Itzá, Machu Picchu, the Taj Mahal, and Christ the Redeemer. However, the confusion often stems from the 1956 film Seven Wonders of the World, narrated by Lowell Thomas, which featured Angel Falls as one of its featured wonders. Additionally, Angel Falls was a top finalist in the 2011 "New7Wonders of Nature" campaign, though it ultimately lost out to sites like the Amazon Rainforest and Iguazu Falls. Despite its absence from these formal lists, Angel Falls remains a "bucket list" destination for many and is universally recognized by geographers and tourists as one of the most significant natural wonders on the planet due to its staggering 979-meter height.
