  ANGEL FALLS, THE HIGHEST WATERFALL IN THE WORLD. CAYO SOMBRERO IN MORROCOY NP (April 2007)  text

Wenezuela
In order to see the highest waterfall in the world, I had to fly to Canaima
Wenezuela
It's possible to go by boat, but I've never met anyone who did that
Wenezuela
Lake Canaima
Wenezuela
We went up river Carrao and then Churun until we reached Isla Raton
Wenezuela
From there it's 1 hour walk to the viewpoint
Wenezuela
I didn't like it at first - it was gray and cloudy. But next morning was sunny and I took this photo
Wenezuela
Falling from Auyan-tepui Salto Angel is 979m high
Wenezuela
It the rainy season there is a lot more water
Wenezuela
On the way back
Wenezuela
The name has nothing to do with angels but with Jimmie Angel, who landed his plane on top of Auyan-tepui
Wenezuela
We had great weather
Wenezuela
I spent a day on Isla Anatoly, and the rest of the group left for Canaima
Wenezuela
Hacha Falls were nearby
Wenezuela
It's possible to walk behind the falling water to the other side
Wenezuela
The noise was awesome
Wenezuela
It's forbidden to come to this waterfall
Wenezuela
Again Hacha Falls
Wenezuela
Small Cessna took me back to Ciudad Bolivar
Wenezuela
I decided to visit Cayo Sombrero, a small island in Morrocoy National Park
Wenezuela
It took only 20 min by speed boat to get there
Wenezuela
I knew it would be beautiful!
Wenezuela
One of my favorite pictures
