Angel Falls hiking

angel falls (Spanish: Salto Ángel; Pemon language: Kerepakupai Vená, meaning "waterfall of the deepest place", or Parakupá Vená, meaning "the fall from the highest point") is a waterfall in Venezuela. It is the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall, with a height of 979 metres (3,212 ft) and a plunge of 807 metres (2,648 ft). The waterfall drops over the edge of the Auyantepui mountain in the Canaima National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Canaima), a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Gran Sabana region of Bolívar State. The height figure 979 metres (3,212 ft) mostly consists of the main plunge but also includes about 400 metres (0.25 mi) of sloped cascade and rapids below the drop and a 30-metre (98 ft) high plunge downstream of the talus rapids. The falls are along a fork of the Rio Kerepacupai Meru which flows into the Churun River, a tributary of the Carrao River, itself a tributary of the Orinoco River.

The angel falls in Maine are a series of waterfalls located in the town of Fort Kent. The falls are named for the Angel family, who owned the land on which they are located. The falls are a popular tourist destination, and are open to the public year-round.

The angel falls consist of a main waterfall, which is approximately 60 feet high, and several smaller waterfalls. The falls are located in a gorge that is approximately 150 feet deep. The gorge is surrounded by steep cliffs, which make it a popular spot for rock climbers.

The angel falls are a popular spot for swimming and fishing. The falls are also home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, bears, and eagles.
