The name of the largest waterfall in the world is Angel Falls, located in Venezuela. It has an astonishing total height of 979 meters (3,212 feet), making it the tallest uninterrupted waterfall on the planet. Angel Falls plunges over the edge of the Auyán-tepui mountain, part of the Gran Tepui region, surrounded by lush rainforests and diverse wildlife. The waterfall was named after Jimmy Angel, an American aviator who was the first to fly over it in 1933. Today, it serves as a popular tourist destination for its breathtaking scenery and the adventure opportunities the surrounding landscape offers.
