Angel Falls, Venezuela
Located in Venezuela, Angels Falls is the world's highest waterfall at a staggering 979 meters or 3,212 feet – this is 15 times higher than Niagara Falls for comparison. The water comes from the Churun River and does a free-fall drop over the edge of a mountain into a set of white water rapids below. There is a second drop of 30 meters just beyond the rapids.
To reach the falls, however, is no easy feat. You'll have to first catch a small plane to the town of Canaima, and then it is a one-day boat ride to the falls.
