Do you know what the world's highest waterfall is? You may say Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls is really beautiful, but in terms of height, the most fantastic waterfall in the world is Angel Falls. It is deep in the jungles (丛林) of Venezuela.
Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. It's very hard to get there. If you go by car, you will have to travel for weeks through jungles. If you go by plane from Caracas, the capital of Venezuela on the southern coast, it will take about four hours.
One of the most interesting facts about Angel Falls is how it was found. It was named after an American pilot. His name was Jimmy Angel. In 1937, he crashed (坠毁) his plane near the top of the waterfall. That's how he found it.
Angel Falls drops nearly a kilometre from the top of the mountain. The water seems to be dropping straight out of the clouds. The height of the waterfall is so great that by the time the water reaches the ground, it has already turned into fog (雾).
If you have a chance to visit it, you'll never forget it!
