Angel Falls are the tallest and most beautiful waterfall in the world. It drops from a cleft near the summit. The falls are 979 meters (3,212 ft) high, with an uninterrupted descent of 807 meters (2,648 ft) — a drop nineteen times higher than that of Niagara Falls. Auyán Tepui in Bolívar state, Venezuela, is the most visited and one of the largest tepuis in the Guiana Highlands.
