The highest waterfall on earth

I flew into this tiny town called Canaima in Venezuela, and right away, I knew this was going to be an adventure. First, we took a boat through the jungle—super cool but also really hot and humid. The sounds of the jungle were all around us. After a short hike, we finally reached the spot where you can see Angel Falls.

When I saw the falls, I was seriously speechless. It was so much bigger than I expected, just this massive waterfall dropping from way up high. The sound of the water was so loud, but also kind of peaceful. It felt surreal being there.

One of the best parts? I swam in a little pool right under the falls! The water was so refreshing, and the power of the falls crashing down around me was just incredible. It felt like I was in another world.

Returning back was also fun, because we started to hike down late in the evening, after sunset. Jungle at night is a really weird place to be. It was fun though, even though it was a little bit scary. And then we spent the night at the camping grounds across the river where we slept in the hammocks.

I loved the whole experience—getting there, the boat ride, the hike, and finally seeing the falls up close. It wasn’t just about the falls, it was about the whole adventure.
