Almost a kilometer of free fall: Salto Ángel (Angel Falls) is the world's tallest waterfall, plunging from the Auyán tepui deep in the Venezuelan jungle and dissolving into mist before it ever touches the ground. To see it you travel by curiara (dugout canoe) along dark-water rivers and fly by small plane over the jungle of Canaima National Park, a World Heritage Site. Remote, monumental, and one of the most awe-inspiring natural spectacles on the planet.
