At 979 metres (3,212ft) it is twice as high as New York's Empire State Building and about three times taller than another popular monumental structure – Paris' Eiffel Tower.

Yes, Angel Falls is significantly taller than the Eiffel Tower. Angel Falls, located in Canaima National Park, Venezuela, is the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall with a total height of 979 meters (3,212 feet). To put that in perspective, the Eiffel Tower in Paris stands at a height of 330 meters (1,083 feet), including its antennas. This means that Angel Falls is nearly three times the height of the Eiffel Tower. In fact, the waterfall's longest single drop alone—807 meters (2,648 feet)—is more than double the height of the iconic French monument. While the Eiffel Tower was the tallest man-made structure in the world for 41 years, it is dwarfed by the natural scale of the Venezuelan "tepui" (table-top mountain) from which Angel Falls plunges. For travelers, seeing the falls requires a multi-day journey involving bush planes and motorized canoes, whereas the Eiffel Tower is easily accessible in the heart of Paris; however, in terms of pure vertical scale, the "Queen of Waterfalls" remains an undisputed giant of the natural world.
