Be In Awe Of Angel Falls

What it is

Angel Falls is the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall, dropping 979 metres from the top of Auyán-tepui.

How to do it

Fly into Canaima, then take a motorised canoe upriver and hike to the viewpoint, usually on a two or three-night tour. Scenic flights also pass the falls.

Top tip

Check UK Foreign Office advice for Venezuela before planning a trip.

My experience

Ticked off, but the full story is still to be written up.
