Venezuela 🇻🇪

Breathtaking view of the world's highest waterfall, Angel Falls. 💦🌿

Angel Falls originates from Mount Auyantepui, which has steep slopes and a flat, wide summit.

Auyantepui is the largest of the elevations in Venezuela, and its name translates to "Devil's Mountain." This name was likely chosen due to the constant dense fog that surrounded the mountain, appearing as a mystical phenomenon to the locals.

Such mountains are called "tabletop mountains." They are characterized by immense height, flat tops, and steep vertical slopes. Due to the terrain's unique features, these plateaus were practically inaccessible, and human feet did not set foot here for hundreds of years. A true "Lost World".
