The Auyantepui Mountain Range in southeastern Venezuela is also known as the Devil’s Mountain, and it is from here that Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world, splashes out in its full glory. Christened after its discoverer Jimmy Angel, an American adventurer and pilot, the waterfall is 979 metres (3,212 feet) high. Due to its great height, the water almost turns into fog by the time it reaches the ground!
