Angel Falls Salto Angel

Falling almost a kilometer, Angel Falls is the star attraction of Canaima National Park. At 979 m it is the highest waterfalls in the world. The best time to see the falls is during the rainy season, between May and November. During the dry season the falls may be little more than a trickle which turns to mist by the time it reaches the bottom.

The falls are usually visited by either a sightseeing flight or a 3 day boat trip beginning in the town of Canaima. Visitors must fly into Canaima as there is no road access. The boat trip may not be possible during the dry season due to low water levels in the river.

Tours can be arranged from a number of cities including Caracas, Ciudad Bolívar, Santa Elena, as well as other major cities, although usually with a connecting flight.
