Angel Falls aka: Salto Angel

Angel Falls is spectacular of course, being the world’s highest waterfall, but the journey to get there is as exciting as the destination itself, climbing up the Orinoco river on a two day journey in the roadless Amazon. I will never forget this experience.

National Geographic’s Amazing Planet: Destructive Forces showed many fast pace images and the narrator’s voice was hypnotizing.

Those of you who are familiar with Lonely Planet/Globe Trekker might recall this particular episode with Ian Wright…his last destination in South America was El Salto Angel, or Angel Falls…it was totally breathtaking! Ian’s walking in the evergreen Amazons, when suddenly he starts hearing a thunder…it gets louder and louder, and suddenly before you appears the most magnificient scene in your life- The mystic falls thundering from a height of 807 meters with a cloud of water vapour at the base, which gives the whole place a heavenly feel. Would you resist such temptation?

Jump off the top by parachute.

I saw a 60 year old guy do this – he said it was the last thing he wanted to do before he died – he did it but it wasn’t.

I like to travel…it’s my hobby. And such beautiful places certanly worth money and time spent on the trip
