1) Angel Falls

Angel Falls is located in the Guayana highlands, and it is just one of the five great adventure regions in Venezuela. The water free falls 979 meters from the Churum river hovering under the edge of the "Auyantepuy" Table mountain, the largest Tepuy (table mountain) in Canaima Venezuela. This height makes the falls the highest waterfall in the world. Angel Falls is 15 times higher than Niagara Falls!

This falls are named for Jimmy Angel, an adventurous pilot from Missouri, United States, who flew in the Lindberg air circus. James Crawford Angel (Jimmy Angel) is a modern legend in Venezuela. He saw the waterfall for the first time in 1933 with his partner while searching for the legendary McCracken River of Gold, or the Golden City.

James returned again in 1937 with his wife and his friend Gustavo Henry Gardener when they had to make an emergency landing on top of the Auyantepuy. The aircraft landed safely but reamined there, at the top of the Tepuy for 33 years!

Jimmy Angel and his three companions managed to descend from Tepuy and return to the civilization walking through the jungle for 11 days. Angel's plane was receovered from atop the Tepuy and is currently in the Aviation Museum in Maracay, and nowadays on top of the Auyantepuy you will find a replica of Jimmys airplane.

Goway offers three options for visiting Angel Falls. A fly over option as well as a 1 day canoe trip to the abse of the falls or a 2 day 1 night camping adventure where you take dug out canoes up river, trek to the base of the falls where you camp and then return to Canaima on day 2.
