Angle Falls is the world’s highest waterfall, with a height of 979m (3212ft) and a clear drop of 807 m (2,647 ft). It is located in the Canaima National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, in the Gran Sabana region of Bolivar State, Venezuela.
The highest of the falls is so great that before getting anywhere near the ground, the water is atomized by the strong winds and turned into mist.
The fictional “Paradise Falls” in the 2009 Pixar film Up was inspired by Angel Falls. The production staff toured this area of Venezuela prior to the making of the film.
