Where is Venezuela located?

Venezuela is located in the northern part of the South American continent, with mountains and rivers. More than 65,438+0,000 rivers cross mountains and mountains, with ups and downs, high mountains and long waters, and stormy waves, forming waterfalls of all sizes. One of the most famous waterfalls is Angel Waterfall, which has the biggest drop in the world. In the past, only the local Indians knew the location of this waterfall and named it Chulong. It was not until 1937 that it was discovered by American pilot Jimmy Angel. There is a tortuous story about the origin of the name Angel Waterfall.

The spectacular Angel Waterfall happened one day in the early 1930s. In a hotel in Panama, an American explorer told an American pilot angel a vivid story. In an unknown dense jungle, there is a stream, and the flowing water is alluvial with dazzling gold. So the explorer asked Angel to take him to the stream by plane, and Angel readily agreed. The explorer paid Angel $5,000 as a reward and made him promise not to tell anyone the location of the stream.

Then, explorers and angels flew to Venezuela and landed by the stream. The explorer caught 45 kilograms of gold, sold it for 27,000 dollars in Panama, and then returned to the United States. Shortly after the explorer's death, in order to find gold, Angel ignored his promise and flew over the 1935 Venezuelan highlands alone and found the stream. He found some waterfalls when he flew over Dwell Mountain. Two years later, Jimmy Angel flew back in his plane and observed it closer to the waterfall, but his plane crashed into the swamp. It took him and his companions 1 1 day to trudge through the tropical jungle and reach the waterfall. Jimmy Angel didn't find gold, but he found the biggest waterfall in the world. In order to commemorate his exploration, later generations named the waterfall he accidentally discovered as Angel Waterfall.

Angel Waterfall is a multistage waterfall with a width of about150m. The first stage flows directly from the top of the mountain to the crystalline rock platform with a drop of 807 meters; Then it dropped 172 meters and landed in a large pool with a width of 152 meters in the Chulun Valley at the foot of the mountain. Angel Falls has a drop of 979 meters, which is about 18 times the height of Niagara Falls.

Today, Angel Waterfall has long been famous in the world. However, there is no land, and only a few people have the opportunity to witness its "beauty". Layers of dense virgin forests block the sight of tourists. Only by renting a plane can we get a rare glimpse of its mysterious and majestic appearance from the porthole.
