Canaima National Park / Angel Falls

Penelope and I signed up for a day tour to Canaima National Park. It was a 2 hour flight from Margarita Island on this tiny 14-seat airplane.

Angel Falls, the world's tallest waterfall, at 1000m.

Other waterfalls in Canaima. We later took a canoe ride up to them.

We actually hiked under Sapo Falls to get to the other side.

This picture shows the full volume of water coming out of the falls. The last few steps of the hike actually take you through the falls. Hang onto the guide rope because the water hits you with the force of a fire hose!
