The Angel Falls (Kerepakupai Vená, in Pemón, meaning "jump from the deepest place") n 1 is the highest waterfall in the world, with a height of 979 m (807 m of uninterrupted fall), 1 2 3 generated from the Auyantepuy. It is located in the Canaima National Park, in the state of Bolívar, Venezuela. A protected natural space, as a National Park on June 12, 1962 and declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1994, extends over an area of more than 30,000 km², to the border with Brazil and the Essequibo territory (currently in recovery). The name with which it is known internationally, Salto Angel, was suggested by a Venezuelan in honor of the American aviator Jimmie Angel, who in 1937 collaborated more formally on the existence and exact location of the fall by flying over it in his plane and later to rest on its peak, giving it a worldwide impact. In the 21st century, she was one of the 28 finalists in the election of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World
