Angel Falls, Bolívar State, Venezuela |
Have you seen Disney/Pixar motion picture "UP "? In the story featured a legendary waterfall which is called the Paradise Falls.

National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Canaima), a UNESCO World
Heritage site in the Gran Sabana region of Bolívar State. The height
figure 979 m (3,212 ft) mostly consists of the main plunge but also
