Canaima is a trip from Caracas or Ciudad Bolivar and includes your flight to Kanaima, a city in the center of the western part of the park and can be reached by plane. After arriving at the popular park, Angel Falls, you can fly to Canaima Road, a beautiful mineral-rich port on the sandy beach.

The Kanaima Camp is located about 30 miles [50 km] south of Angel Falls and is home to several low-lying waterfalls that dot the beautiful mineral-rich lake. Seven spectacular waterfalls cascade into the lake and many tours to Angel Falls include a short boat ride or hiking that allows tourists to explore the waterfalls. The famous road between Sapo Frog, Sapito, and Little Frog Falls offers visitors to the Canaima National Park the opportunity to walk through the watery canals to Kevac Canyon and its spectacular waterfall of La Cueva, Kamarata near the ancient city of Pomona.

Angel Falls, the world's tallest waterfall, is a mysterious place named after Jimmy Angel, an American businessman who crashed his plane into a sand dune in the 1930s. Much of the Kanaima National Park is covered with mesas, spectacular cliffs, and spectacular waterfalls, including Angel Falls, the world's highest waterfall. Angel Falls is lovely in itself, but making it truly unique takes love and determination.

Angel Falls is located in Canaima National Park in KanaimA, a town in the state of Bolivar, Venezuela. Angel Falls thunders and falls and is the world's highest waterfall and tourist attraction in Venezuela. A park with waterfalls was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. The falls are located in the Gran Sabana area of Venezuela.

Angel Falls descends into Canaima National Park, Venezuela's largest National Park, at the summit of Table Mountain, Auyan Tepu, also known as Devils Canyon.

Although Angel Falls was discovered by explorer Ernesto Sanchez de la Cruz in the early 20th century, it was unknown in the western world until 1935 when American airliner James Crawford visited Angel on a plane to search for gemstones. The pilot Jimmy Angel landed his plane at Auyantepui Falls in 1937. This was an effort to prove to the world that waterfalls were in demand for gold. With a height of 979 meters (807 meters) and a continuous fall, the world's highest waterfall, Angel Falls (also known as Salto Angel) descends from Auyan Tepui; it is named after the Pemon language, which means a waterfall of deep places.

It took them 11 days to return to civilization along the slopes, but news spread of their entertainment, and the waterfall was named after Angel Falls in honor of him. Angel Falls is located in the heart of the Canaima National Park in Venezuela, not far from the border with Brazil and Guyana.

To show you how long it takes to see Angel Falls we had to spend four hours in the streams of two different rivers, El Rio Carrao and Rio Churun red as blood on a small motorboat. The waterfall was known as Angel Falls until the mid-20th century when it was named after Jimmie Angel, an American airline man who became the first person to fly over it. The indigenous Pemon community is the world’s longest ruler and they named the falls Keprepakupai Meru meaning “seawater” and the name “angel” comes from American explorer Jimmie Angels who discovered the waterfall when he crashed into it with his plane.

Sir Walter Raleigh described Tepui, in his campaign to visit the legendary city of El Dorado, as' Table Mountain '' Raleigh said Europe's first view of Angel Falls, even though their claim was considered minor. The first official work of James Angel, an American pilot in 1933 and the first pilot to fly over these signs and associated names, was published in 1939 by the Venezuelan government as part of his report Exploracia3n la Gran Sabana (Exploration of Great Savannah). Angel Falls was unknown in the world outside until an American airliner Jimmie Angel flew over them on November 16, 1933, at the behest of Cardona, where he was looking for a treasure trove.

The highest waterfall in the world, Angel Falls, falls at a height of 979 meters from a base 150 feet [150 m] high. It is known in the ancient Pemoni language as Kerepakupai Meru, and it has been agreed that it completely crosses one kilometer (approximately 979 m), with a free fall of 807 m. Katahdin Falls, a barren waterfall located in the mountain forests of Baxter State Park, has conquered the tallest waterfall in Maine.

Apart from seeing Angel Falls itself as a thick, multi-horsepower, we can also see the waterfalls as a tiny "hour" disappearing in the fog descending, and then reappearing in the lower hole of the remainder of its fall.
