  1. The tallest waterfall in the world with a total height of 3,212 feet (979m) and a clear drop measuring 2,648 feet (807m), is Angel Falls (Kerepakupai merú ) located in the Canaima National Park, in the Gran Sabana region of Bolivar State, Venezuela. The first to discover the waterfall was Ernesto de Santa Cruz in 1910. Notwithstanding this, the story of pilot Jimmy Angel who first saw the falls in 1937 (and subsequently nose-dived into them) is far more famous. Luckily, he and all the passengers escaped unharmed and received near-legendary status in Venezuela. Angel Falls were named after him. They are also known as Kerepakupai merú (in indigenous) which means “fall from the deepest place.”

    Angel Falls - located in Canaima National Park in Venezuela, this beautiful waterfall claims the honor of tallest waterfall in the world. With a 2,648 foot plunge and a total height of 3212 feet, it is easily 100 feet taller than the second largest waterfall in the world.
