Salto Angel Waterfall, Canaima National Park, Venezuela
Angel Falls (Spanish: Salto Ángel; Pemon language: Kerepakupai vena, meaning waterfall of the deepest place, or Parakupa-vena, meaning the fall from the highest point) is a waterfall in Venezuela.
It is the world's highest waterfall, with a height of 979 m (3,212 ft) and a plunge of 807 m (2,648 ft). The waterfall drops over the edge of the Auyantepui mountain in the Canaima National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Canaima), a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Gran Sabana region of Bolívar State, Venezuela.
The height of the fall is so great that, before getting anywhere near the ground, much of the water is evaporated or carried away as a fine mist by the strong wind. The base of the falls feeds into the Kerep River (alternatively known as the Río Gauya), which flows into the Churun River, a tributary of the Carrao River.
The height figure 979 m (3,212 ft) mostly consists of the main plunge but also includes about 400 m (0.25 mi) of sloped cascades and rapids below the drop and a 30 m (98 ft) high plunge downstream of the talus rapids. While the main plunge is undoubtedly the highest single drop in the world, some feel that including the lower cascades somewhat stretches the criteria for the measurement of waterfalls, although there are no universally recognized standards of waterfall measurement.
The waterfall was known for most of the twentieth century by the name Angel Falls after Jimmie Angel, a US aviator who was the first to fly over the falls in a plane. The common Spanish name Salto Ángel derives from the English. In 2009, President Hugo Chávez announced his intention to change the name to the indigenous Pemon term Kerepakupai Merú, meaning waterfall of the deepest place, on the grounds that the nation's most famous landmark should bear an indigenous name. Explaining the name change, Chávez was reported to have said, This is ours, long before Angel ever arrived there... this is indigenous property. However, he later said that he will not decree the change of name, but only was defending the use of Kerepakupai merú.
The falls are sometimes referred to as Churún-merú, meaning thunder waterfall, in error; that name corresponds to another waterfall in the Canaima National Park (also on Auyantepui, in fact).
Sir Walter Raleigh described what was possibly a tepuy (table top mountain), and he is sometimes said to have been the first European to view the Angel Falls, but these claims are considered far-fetched. Some historians state that the first European to visit the waterfall was Fernando de Berrío, a Spanish explorer and governor from the 16th and 17th centuries.Later on, they were indeed spotted in 1912 by the Venezuelan explorer Ernesto Sánchez La Cruz, but he did not publicize his discovery. They were not known to the outside world until American aviator Jimmie Angel flew over them on 16 November 1933 on a flight while he was searching for a valuable ore bed.
Returning on 9 October 1937, Angel tried to land his Metal Aircraft Corporation Flamingo monoplane El Río Caroní; atop Auyan-tepui, but the plane was damaged when the wheels sank into the marshy ground, and he and his three companions, including his wife Marie, were forced to descend the tepui on foot. It took them 11 days to make their way back to civilization, but news of their adventure spread, and the waterfall was named Angel Falls in his honor.
Angel's plane remained on top of the tepuy for 33 years before being lifted out by helicopter. It was restored at the Aviation Museum in Maracay and now sits outdoors on the front of the airport at Ciudad Bolívar.
The first recorded Westerner to reach the river that feeds the falls was Latvian explorer Aleksandrs Laime, also known as Alejandro Laime to the native Pemon tribe. He made the ascent of Auyan-tepui in 1955. He also reached Angel's plane on the same trip, 18 years after the crash landing. He gave the river feeding the falls the name Gauja after a river in Latvia, but the Pemon-given name of the river, Kerep, is still widely used.
Laime also was the first to clear a trail that leads from the Churun River to the base of the falls. On the way, there is a viewpoint commonly used to capture the falls in photographs. It is named Mirador Laime (Laime's Viewpoint in Spanish) in his honor. This trail is used now mostly for tourists, to lead them from the Isla Ratón camp to the small clearing.
The official height of the falls was determined by a National Geographic Society survey carried out by American journalist Ruth Robertson in 1949.
A book by David Nott, Angels Four, chronicles the first successful climb up the face of Auyantepui to the top of the falls.
The Lost World - Canaima & Angel Falls
Canaima National Parkis a 30,000 km2 (12,000 sq mi) park in south-eastern Venezuela that borders Brazil and Guyana. It is located in Bolívar State, and roughly occupies the same area as the Gran Sabana region.
About 65% of the park is occupied by plateaus of rock called tepuis, which are a kind of plateau of millions of years old, with vertical walls and almost flat tops. These constitute a unique biological environment and are also of great geological interest. Their sheer cliffs and waterfalls (including Angel Falls, which is the highest waterfall in the world, at 1,002 metres (3,287 ft)) create spectacular landscapes.
The most famous tepuis in the park are Mount Roraima, the tallest and easiest to climb, and Auyantepui, the site of Angel Falls.
Highlights from Canaima National park include the 4 hour boat ride to the base of angel falls, and hiking towards the viewpoint. We stayed adjacent in a small lodging area, sleeping in hammocks and waking up to the distance sound of Angel Falls, clear in view. We first stayed in Canaima at the lagoon, surrounded by spectacular waterfalls, and was also a filming location for Jurassic Park.

Canaima National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Canaima) is a 30,000 km2 (12,000 sq mi) park in south-eastern Venezuela that roughly occupies the same area as the Gran Sabana region. It is located in Bolívar State, reaching the borders with Brazil and Guyana.
The park was established on 12 June 1962. It is the second largest park in the country, after Parima-Tapirapecó, and sixth biggest national park in the world. It is the size of Belgium or Maryland.
About 65% of the park is occupied by plateaus of rock called tepuis, which are a kind of table-top mountain millions of years old, with vertical walls and almost flat tops. These constitute a unique biological environment and are also of great geological interest. Their sheer cliffs and waterfalls (including Angel Falls, which is the highest waterfall in the world, at 1,002 metres (3,287 ft)) create spectacular landscapes.
The most famous tepuis in the park are Mount Roraima, the tallest and easiest to climb, and Auyantepui, the site of Angel Falls. The tepuis are sandstone and date back to a time when South America and Africa were part of a super-continent.
The park is home to indigenous Pemon Indians, part of the Carib linguistic group. The Pemon have an intimate relationship with the tepuis, and believe they are the home of the 'Mawari' spirits. The park is relatively remote, with only a few roads connecting towns. Most transport within the park is done by light plane from the airstrips built by various Capuchin missions, or by foot and canoe. Pemons have developed some basic and luxurious camps, which are mainly visited by tourists from across the world.
In 1994, the Canaima National Park was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, as a natural reserve that has abrupt relief special and unique around the world, the tepuis.
The waterfall has been known as the Angel Falls since the Mid-20th century; they are named after Jimmie Angel, a US aviator, who was the first person to fly over the falls.[2] Angel's ashes were scattered over the falls on 2 July 1960.[3]
The common Spanish name Salto Ángel derives from his surname. In 2009, President Hugo Chávez announced his intention to change the name to the purported original indigenous Pemon term (Kerepakupai Vená, meaning waterfall of the deepest place), on the grounds that the nation's most famous landmark should bear an indigenous name.[4] Explaining the name change, Chávez was reported to have said, This is ours, long before Angel ever arrived there ... this is indigenous property.[5] However, he later said that he would not decree the change of name, but only was defending the use of Kerepakupai Vená

Monte Roraima Roraima Tepuy Cascada del Salto Ange y Sarirariñama en Venezuela Sur America Video Bajado a You Tube cortesía de Bus94Media
Teoria de la formacion de las cavidades situadas en la cima de El Sarisariñama (Sarisariñama-Jidi en maquiritare) es un tepuy del Parque Nacional Jaua-Sarisariñama en el extremo sureste del estado Bolívar en Venezuela, cerca de la frontera con Brasil.
Esta meseta es una de las más aisladas del país, encontrándose a cientos de kilómetros de la carretera más cercana. En la actualidad el acceso se encuentra restringido a investigadores científicos exclusivamente.
La característica más distintiva y peculiar de este Tepuy de 2.300 metros de altura es la presencia en sus simas de cavidades prácticamente circulares que aún hoy son un misterio para la geología. Estas profundas depresiones tienen un diámetro en la boca de 350 metros, y una profundidad vertical de 350 metros igualmente. Las paredes de estos pozos, completamente verticales y por lo tanto insuperables para las criaturas que habitan el fondo del precipicio, han permitido aislar un ecosistema único, habiendo especies de plantas y animales que no se encuentran en ninguna otra parte del planeta (endémicas). Estas simas fueron documentadas y exploradas por primera vez en 1974 descubiertas por Charles Brewer-Carías, (Explorador nacido en Caracas, 10 de septiembre de 1938) quien es un naturalista, fotógrafo y explorador Venezolano de gran reputación internacional obtenida gracias a sus trabajos científicos hechos en base a sus expediciones en la Guayana Venezolana. Brewer-Carías ha descubierto más de 20 especies de animales y plantas distintas. También es el descubridor de las cuevas del Cerro Autana en 1971, las simas de Sarisariñama en 1974, y recientemente, un sistema de cuevas de cuarcitas en el tepuy de Chimantá, que llevan su nombre.

Salto Angel en Venezuela - Canaima (Angels Falls - Venezuela)
El Salto Angel en Venezuela (Kerepakupai Vená, en pemón, que significa «salto del lugar más profundo») es el salto de agua más alto del mundo, con una altura de 979 m (807 m de caída ininterrumpida), generada desde el Auyantepuy. Se localiza en el Parque nacional Canaima, en el estado Bolívar, Venezuela. Canaima es un espacio natural protegido, establecido como Parque nacional el 12 de junio de 1962 y declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1994, se extiende sobre un área de más de 30.000 km² (similar a la extensión territorial de Bélgica), hasta la frontera con Brasil y el territorio del Esequibo (actualmente en reclamación) y por su tamaño es el más extenso del mundo. El nombre con el que es conocido internacionalmente, Salto Angel, fue sugerido por un venezolano en honor al aviador estadounidense Jimmie Angel, que en el año 1937 corroboró más formalmente la existencia y ubicación exacta de la caída al sobrevolar el Salto Angel en su avioneta y más tarde posarse en su cima, dándole con esto repercusión mundial. En el siglo XXI, El Salto Angel fue una de las 28 finalistas en la elección de las Siete maravillas naturales del mundo.
Angel Falls (Spanish: Salto Angel; Pemon language: Kerepakupai Meru meaning waterfall of the deepest place, or Parakupá Vená, meaning the fall from the highest point) is a waterfall in Venezuela. It is the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall, with a height of 979 meters (3,212 ft) and a plunge of 807 meters (2,648 ft). The waterfall drops over the edge of the Auyantepui mountain in the Canaima National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Canaima), a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Gran Sabana region of Bolívar State. The height figure 979 metres (3,212 ft) mostly consists of the main plunge but also includes about 400 metres (0.25 mi) of sloped cascade and rapids below the drop and a 30-metre (98 ft) high plunge downstream of the talus rapids.

This is Canaima Lagoon, Venezuela. It's where the waters from Angel Falls pour out of the high Tepuis mountains and collect in this vast lagoon nestled between giant cliffs. Watch this in HD- 1080 or 720p. Music by Michael Richard Plowman.
One of our actors from the Real Lost World 2 Hr. Special we produced for Discovery Channel- Dean Harrison, Cryptozoologist went on a trip in behind the main falls. The water is bath-tub warm, and you can just feel the huge pressure and immensity of the water forces at work here. It's not for the faint-hearted- many have drowned at this location. Dean's investigating the sightings of RATO- a giant snake- a lake monster said to inhabit the waters under the falls.
