Angel Falls 

(Spanish: Salto Ángel; Pemon language: Kerepakupai Vená,

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 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 theGran Sabana region of Bolívar State. 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 rapidsbelow the drop and a 30-metre (98 ft) high

plunge downstream of the talus rapids.

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.

Before reaching the ground, much

of the water is dissipated as mist.
