Thundering Angel Falls is the world’s highest waterfall and Venezuela’s number-one tourist attraction. Its total height is 979m (3211ft), of which the uninterrupted drop is 807m (2646ft), about 16 times the height of Niagara Falls. The cascade spills off the heart-shaped Auyantepui, one of the largest of the tepuis (sandstone-capped mesa), into Devil’s Canyon.
Angel Falls is not named after a divine creature, but after an American bush pilot, Jimmy Angel, who crash landed his four-seater airplane atop Auyantepui in 1937.
The waterfall is situated in a distant, lush wilderness with no road access. Most visitors who visit by boat opt to stay overnight in hammocks at one of the camps near the base of the falls. The canoe trip upriver, the surrounding area and the experience of staying at the camp are nearly as memorable as the waterfall itself.
#7 VENEZUELA abseil ‘The Lost World’,More info:secretcompass
Venture into Venezuela’s lost world, the Canaima National Park, to trek and climb to the summit of Auyán-tepui. This imposing tabletop mountain is the precipice from which the world’s highest waterfall, Angel Falls, cascades to the earth. Then, abseil down this incredible natural phenomenon.

#5 STEPPING INTO OBLIVION the story of abseiling the world’s highest waterfall,More info:secretcompass
Take a deep breath. Focus on maintaining weight in the bottom of your legs to anchor your stance on the brink of oblivion and for God’s sake watch your step. Tentatively leaning forwards you get your first glimpse over Auyán-tepui’s eastern ledge. Locking on to a single patch of water, you watch it shatter into a million droplets. Though much of it will drift away as a fine mist long before it reaches the base, it cascades almost a thousand meters to the jungle canopy below.
With a concoction of nerves, adrenaline and exhaustion running riot through their bodies, this is where January’s Venezuela expedition team faced their fears. Peering over the edge means the five day hike to the summit was behind them. The following morning, they’d commence their abseil descent of Angel Falls, the world’s highest uninterrupted waterfall.
In January 2018, Secret Compass led a team of five to abseil the length of the falls. Best passed on by the acrophobes among us though, it’s virtually impossible to prepare for the extreme exposure the team would face during the two day, 23 rope length descent of the humungous wall.
Now, having returned to the every day of their respective lives, we caught up with Italian teammate Daniela to hear her experience.

#3 Angel Falls, Venezuela. Part I,More info:airpano
The Angel Waterfall found itself in the very heart of the Canaima National Park in Venezuela, not far from the border with Brazil and Guyana.
A small old “Douglas” was on its way to bring us from Puerto Ordaz to Canaima. The bigger part of the car was occupied by our suitcases filled with equipment. Through the windows we could see the tepuis, the famous table-top mountains. Over the edge of one of these mountains, Auyan-tepui, the world’s highest waterfall drops.
The story of its exploration is rather unusual. On November 14, 1933 an American aviator Jimmie Angel flew solo over the Devil’s Canyon in search of gold ore beds. On his return he spoke of an “incredible waterfall falling a mile down”. No one believed him, though.
Four years later he returned to Venezuela. This time he was accompanied by his wife Marie (a co-pilot and a navigator) and assistants Angel Delgado, Gustavo Heny and Felix Cardona.
#2 Visit Gran Sabana and Angel Falls, Venezuela,More info:audleytravel
Inspiration for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous ‘The Lost World’, the great flat-topped mountains of the Gran Sabana lie among nearly 12,000 square miles of protected national park, and it is easy to imagine dinosaurs surviving, cut off by sheer cliffs on each side, in their high mountain refuges.
Magnificent and surreal, the tops of these sheer mountains have completely different ecosystems to their base, such is their size. The highest, Mount Roraima, projects a flat top of 26 square miles high above the surrounding countryside and can be climbed in a strenuous eight-day trek.
