Angel Falls( Spanish Salto Ángel; Pemon language Kerepakupai Merú meaning" cascade of the deepest place", or Parakupá Vená, meaning" the fall from the loftiest point") is a cascade in Venezuela. It's the world's altitudinous continued cascade, with a height of 979 metres( 3,212 ft), and a plunge of 807 m( 2,648 ft). The cascade drops over the edge of the Auyán- tepui 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 m( 3,212 ft), substantially consists of the main plunge but also includes about 400 metres( 1,300 ft) of leaned waterfall and chute below the drop and a 30- metre-high( 100 ft) plunge downstream of the talus chute . The cascade are along a chopstick of the Río Kerepacupai Merú which flows into the Churún River, a influent of the Carrao River, itself a influent of the Orinoco River. With regard to overall height, a redefined confirmation of cascade measures isn't available, and there is still query whether Angel Falls or South Africa's Tugela Falls is the altitudinous( both measures were taken at considerable distance from the two falls).( 2)
