Cardona, a Spaniard, first discovered Chulun Meru Waterfall, which was originally known only to local Indians. 1937, James Crawford Angel, an American explorer, visited the waterfall in the air, but he was at the top of the mountain in crash landing due to unsuccessful landing. Later, in the case of food shortage, he and his wife trudged in the wilderness 1 1 to reach the nearest village and town, which was praised as a miracle by the locals. 1956, Angel died in a plane accident in Panama. According to his last wish, Angel's son scattered his ashes in this waterfall, which was later named "Angel" by Venezuela. When the veil was just lifted, there was no land to pass through, and only by plane could we see its mysterious and majestic posture. Now it is a tourist adventure place, and visitors can reach the waterfall through the mountain road of about 1.5 hours. Conan Doyle has a novel called "The Lost World", which describes a hot-tempered professor leading an expedition into Pingdingshan area and accidentally discovering a world whose evolution stayed hundreds of millions of years ago. There, they met prehistoric dinosaurs and fierce apes, and finally brought a pterosaur back to London. This mysterious world does not come from the imagination of novelists. Conan Doyle's creation was inspired by the plateau in southeastern Venezuela. There, in the inaccessible tropical rain forest, there stand some Pingdingshan called "Tepuyi" by the local Pamong people. The mountains are full of vitality, and the chirping of monkeys and macaws come and go. On the top of the mountain is the scene of a savanna, surrounded by cotton candy-like clouds, and unprecedented tropical plants are climbing on the edge. Hundreds of waterfalls cut the mountain into small pieces, and from a distance, it seems to be scattered on the vast blue sea. In the depths of this fog, there is the largest waterfall in the world-Angel Waterfall. One day more than 50 years ago, in a hotel in Panama, an American explorer told an American pilot angel a vivid story. It is said that 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 the 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, Angel ignored his promise and flew to Venezuela on1October 9 1937 to find a stream. While looking for a stream, he came across this great waterfall. Unfortunately, the plane crashed in an accident, and later generations named this waterfall "Angel Waterfall" to commemorate his adventure. Kanama is downstream of Angel Waterfall, and there is a place called Kanama. There are many waterfalls here and the scenery is charming. Venezuela has opened up a tourist area here and built a runway that can take off and land jetliners. Maitia International Airport near Caracas, the capital, has two flights to this waterfall area every day. Angel Waterfall After enjoying the scenic spots such as Akers Waterfall in Kanama, you can take a yacht along the Kalou River and visit Angel Waterfall. Along the way, you can enjoy the primitive ancient forests on both sides of the river and the silver waterfalls that pour down like water curtains. You can also go hiking in the jungle, visit Indian villages and learn about the primitive life of Indian fishing and hunting. There are also many private small planes for rent, which can be seen by plane. Although you can't hear the roar of the waterfall from the plane, you can see a snow-white training belt floating out between the blue sky and white clouds. The plane circled over the canyon and entered an "adventure" state. Therefore, anyone who visits the waterfall by air can get a special certificate of "brave explorer". Angel Waterfall, accompanied by beautiful water, is deeply hidden in the forests of Venezuela. Although its water volume is not very large, the drop is 979 meters, and the momentum and scenery are spectacular. Sure enough, it is worthy of the famous sentence that "flying over three thousands of feet, it is doubtful that the Milky Way will set for nine days". In the mid-20th century, Angel Waterfall was little known. In the early 1930s, American pilot Angel was searching for gold in South America with an old gold car. Every time, under the careful guidance of the old man, the two always go home with a full load. But the old man never let Angel go with him to the river he called full of gold. But let Angel wait for him at a distance on the plane. Later, the old man died of illness. Before he died, he asked the angel to take charge of this "golden river" for him, hoping that it would bring him happiness. But Angel couldn't find the way to the river from the old man's vague words. Soon, the old man died, and Angel got on the plane and began to look for the magical river over the dense forest. Angel didn't find the river until his death, but he found the Angel Waterfall with the biggest drop in the world at 1937. The width is about150m, and the highest drop is 807m. Waterfalls fall between mountains and cliffs, flying in the air, pearls flying and jade splashing, clouds transpiration and valleys roaring. Both sides are lined with towering old trees and rugged rocks, adding a bit of solemn beauty to the magnificence. To commemorate his great discovery, people named this waterfall Angel Waterfall. Angel Waterfall has long been famous in the world. However, few people have the opportunity to witness its "Fang Zi" with their own eyes. Layers of dense virgin forests obscure the sight of tourists. Only by renting a plane can you get a rare glimpse of the true face of Lushan Mountain from the window. 1956, Angel died in a plane crash in Panama. According to his last wish, people sprinkled all their ashes on the Angel Waterfall. He discovered and visited this place many times, and they will always be close to this beautiful mountain. Waterfalls Introduction Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world (usually literally translated as Angel Falls, but not etymologically), is also called Chulun Meru Falls. The local Indians reverently called it "Chu Long". This is indeed like a silver dragon on the sea, flexible and charming, hovering between cliffs, hanging in the air, stirring up the mountains and pearls, misty and misty, falling like chasing the wind and electricity, unstoppable and rumbling, roaring like a dragon, echoing through the valley. Under the irradiation of light, colorful rainbows can often be seen on the water mist, soft and lovely as gauze in a moon cage, as if someone had thrown colorful training out and played with this flying silver dragon. On both sides of the waterfall, towering old trees, rugged rocks and winding vines add solemn beauty to the magnificence. Angel Falls is located in Gaiana Plateau, Bolivarian State of Venezuela, South America, on the Chulun River, a tributary of Caroni River. Hidden deep in the plateau forests of Venezuela and Guyana. Angel Waterfall is the largest waterfall in the world. The Qiulun River plunges down from the steep wall of Yi Shan on the flat-topped plateau, hardly touching the steep cliff, with a drop of 979.6 meters, which is about 18 times the height of Niagara Falls. The waterfall is divided into two stages. First, it fell 807 meters and landed on a rock shelf. Then it falls172m, and falls in a large pool with a width of152m at the foot of the mountain. The tropical rain forest in this area is so dense that it is impossible to reach the bottom of the waterfall on foot. In the rainy season, rivers become deeper because of the rain, and people can enter by boat. At other times of the year, you can only watch waterfalls from the air. Angel Waterfall is the largest waterfall in the world. The Qiulun River flows down from Oyan-Tepei Mountain in the flat-topped plateau, with a width of150m and a total drop of 979m (3122ft). The waterfall is divided into two stages, and the most important one is the crystallization platform which is 0/72 meters away from Qiulun Valley/KLOC-. Angel Waterfall is a multi-level waterfall. The first stage flows directly from the top of the mountain to the crystalline rock platform with a drop of 807 meters; Then descend172m until you reach the Chulun Valley. Looking at the waterfall at close range, it is like a flying rainbow rushing like lightning, and looking at it from a distance is like a moon cage gauze. Whenever the morning dawns and the fog permeates the cliff top, I see the waterfall rushing down from the cliff, just like a heroic silver dragon descending from the sky and rumbling thunder. Flying down, the mountains are covered with pearls. If the sun shines, there is a beautiful rainbow hanging on the soft mist, as if someone is playing a trick on this roaring dragon, plus the towering ancient trees and rugged rocks surrounded by vines on both sides of the waterfall, it is even more magnificent ...
