Which Is The Highest Waterfall In The World ?
The highest waterfall in the world is the Angel Falls in Venezuela. At a towering height of 979m did you know that each drop of water takes 14 seconds to fall from the top to the bottom. The water flows from the top of a “Tepui” which is a flat topped mountain with vertical sides.
The waterfall which despite being known to the local indians for thousands of years was originally called the “Churun Meru” but for some reason they were renamed by an American bush pilot called Jimmy Angel, who noticed them in 1935 whilst flying over the area looking for gold.
