In the middle of the Venezuelan jungle, Angel Falls is the highest waterfall in the world
Often, getting to a destination is more important than the destination itself. While we were sitting on a boat, plying the river from Canaima to our camp in the middle of the bush, we concluded that even if we would not see a drop of Angel Falls the next day, our trip was already a success. Imagine: a huge highland, plateau, with spectacular cliffs at the ends, dropping down some 1000 metres, and rivers surrounding these highlands. And as far as you can see, the land covered by an enormous and seemingly endless carpet of trees. From all sides, water falls down for hundreds of metres, but since we are on our way to the highest waterfall in the world, these waterfalls are neglected. In many other countries, each and every one of those would be the highlight of a trip.
