In Focus- World's Highest Waterfall |
|
|
Located in the Canaima National Park, in southeastern Venezuela, the falls start from the nameless creek that meanders through the series of highly- fractured crevices and gorges on top of a “Topy”, or table-top mountain. The water then bursts into the void and plunges uninterrupted 2,421 feet to the river and more cascades below.

In a season of highest water, the single waterfall splits into three streams – sometime even more, which together become a giant veil of water.

This is the most accessible viewpoint to photograph the fall |

The view from the top is fantastic enough to inspire a multitude of “Lost World” legends (including the famous Conan Doyle book), not to mention the table-top mountain itself – a wonder-world of vegetation and species found nowhere else on Earth. It is truly an Inland in Time, discovered by the civilized world only a hundred years ago – an ancient landscape shrouded in mystery.

In the morning the rocks are colored pink form a rising sun.
