تقع شلالات أنجل Angel Falls في فنزويلا و تحديدا في المنطقة الحدودية مع البرازيل، يزيد ارتفاعها عن ألف متر، تنحدر المياه من سفح جبل Auyantepui mountain في حديقة Canaima National Park و تصب في نهر Kerep، و هي أعلى ب 19 مرة من شلالات نياجارا في كندا. سميت الشلالات بهذا الاسم نسبة لأول من طار فوقها و هو الطيار الأمريكي Jimmie Angel, و تكريما له بسبب رحلته المليئة بالمغامرات الى تلك الشلالات، تعرف على تفاصيل هذه الرحلة و المزيد عن هذه الشلالات الرائعة في هذا المقال.[/frame]
[frame="1 80"]
في عام 1937 قرر الطيار الأمريكي Angel الهبوط فوق جبل Auyantepui بطائرته المعدنية و لكن عجلات الطائرة تحطمت بسبب الأراضي المستقعية مما اضطره و زملائه الثلاثة في الرحلة (من ضمنهم زوجته) للمشي للوصول أسفل الجبل و قد أخذت هذه الرحلة الخطيرة منهم 11 يوما و قد سميت هذه الشلالات بعد هذه الحادثة باسم Angel Falls.[/frame]
[frame="1 80"]مؤلف كتاب “أجمل 10 شلالات في العالم” Beth Collins أدرجها في المرتبة الاولى في كتابه و قد دهش و أخذ بروعة و جمال الشلالات ووصفها قائلا بأنها أطول شلالات في العالم بحيث أن جزءا كبيرا من المياه يتبخر في الهواء قبل وصوله الى القاع و عندما تنظر اليها من القاع لا يمكنك رؤية مصدر المياه من أين تاتي و بعكس الشلالات الأخرى فان هذه الشلالات لا تتغذى من بحيرة أو نهر أو ثلوج ذائبة و إنما من هطول الأمطار من السحب الاستوائية.[/frame]
[frame="1 80"]تم اختيار الشلالات كأحد مواقع اليونسكو للتراث العالمي و قد حصلت على المرتبة الثانية ضمن 28 موقعا مختلفا من العالم لتصفيات عجائب الدنيا السبعة الجديدة، صورة للشلالات في موسم الشتاء.[/frame]

After adventurers have trekked through a dense tropical jungle and taken a canoe for a long river trip to reach the base of the falls, they have called this area ‘The Lost World.’ The environment is unique with flora and fauna of all kinds. There are hundreds of species of orchids and other vegetation. Even on the sheer high cliffs of the tepuis, there are clumps of insect-eating pitcher plants clinging to the bare rock. There is an incredible variety of tropical wildlife in the area: monkeys, poison arrow frogs, cougars, jaguars, toucans, South American Bushwhackers, giant anteaters, giant armadillos, giant otters, and two-toed sloths.

Angel Falls is 19 times higher than Niagria Falls. The height from which this world’s highest free-falling waterfall plunges is so great that, before getting anywhere near the ground, much of the water is evaporated or carried away as a fine mist by the strong wind. Photo #7 by Inti
Climbing Angel Falls, route Rainbow Jambaia ascent, is no easy feat. So what do adrenaline junkies do when they tire? They camp on the cliffs of Devil’s Mountain, hanging as they sleep. Rainbow Jambaia Ascent Team Photos #8 by Evrard Wendenbaum, Arnaud Petit and Nicolas Kaliszvia via planetFear
Canaima National Park was established in 1962 and was named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. It is the second largest park in the Venezula and is the size of Belgium or Maryland. The most famous tepuis, or table-top mountains, in the park are Mount Roraima which is the tallest and easiest to climb, and Auyantepui which has Angel Falls. Photo #9 by Frank Müller

These table-top mountains, tepuis, are the oldest exposed formations on the earth; its origin dates back to Precambrian. Over the course of Earth’s history, the plateau eroded and formed the tepuis. Auyantepui, with the world-renowned waterfall, is not the largest but is still a giant among the massive table-top mountains; it encompasses 250 sq mi (650 km2) with a 8,317 feet (2,535 meters) peak.

Kerepakupai Vená, aka Angel Falls, is located deep within the heart of Canaima National Park in Venezuela. It borders Brazil and Guyana. The flat-topped rock plateaus take up about 65% of the park and are millions of years old. The sheer cliffs and waterfalls make for a truly spectacular landscape. Photo #14 by toursholic

Angel Falls was not known to the outside world until Jimmie Angel flew over them on 1933. But in 1937, Angel returned to the falls with the intention of landing. Despite a successful touchdown, his El Rio Caroní airplane nose-dived when it hit soft ground at the end of its landing run and the wheels sank in the mud making take-off impossible. Angel and the other plane’s occupants were unharmed, but they had to trek across difficult terrain to make their way off the tepui. They had to survive with low food supplies for 11 days, through dangerous waters and jungles, to make it to the nearest settlement at Kamarata. When word got out of their exploits, Angel received near-legendary status in Venezuela and the massively impressive waterfall was named after the bush pilot. His plane stayed at the top of the falls until 1970. It was then re-assembled and can be seen outside the airport terminal at Ciudad Bolívar. Photo #18 by Yosemite
As seen during dry season: Salto Ángel plunges over 3,000 feet into the heart of the rain-forest. Photo #19 by Yosemite

The falls are located in this isolated jungle, so getting here generally takes a flight from Puerto Ordaz or Ciudad Bolívar to reach the Canaima camp which is the starting point for river trips to the base of the falls. River trips usually take place from June to December, when the rivers are deep enough for the wooden curiaras used by the Pemon guides. During December to March which is the dry season, there is much less water than during the wet season. Photo #28 by Rafael Estrella

As the Río Gauja river nears the edge of the sandstone plateau, Auyantepui mountain, it sinks into bedrock channels and disappears underground completely.
