Venezuela's angel suspected "angel" fall on earth

Mention Venezuela, you first think what -- Chavez? The oil? Beauty? Just got back from my angel falls, is full of waterfall volley falling graceful posture, I dare say, the scene more than Venezuela and a stunning beauty bumped into.

Salto Churun Meru

Angel Falls (Angel Falls) hiding inSouth AmericaThe depths of Venezuela Bolivar Guyana plateau in the jungle, in the chuluun Caroni River tributaries of the river, is the world's largest waterfall drop. Qiulun River from the flat plateau Aoyangtepuyi mountain (Auyan-tepui) of the cliff Zhixie down, drop of 979.6 meters between the US and Canada, is about 18 times the height of the Niagara Falls, the equivalent of a three layer of skyscrapers.

The falls are divided into two levels, the first and 807 meters, fell on the ledge, then drop 172 meters, finally into the mountains at the foot of a width of 152 meters of large pool. Angel Falls talent color, but is hidden in purdah. During the rainy season, the river because of rain and dark, people can take a boat upstream into, but because the area of tropical rain forest is very thick, can not walk at the bottom end of the falls. The dry season, the only ornamental falls from the sky, be the most changeful clouds of tropical rain forest climate, often blocking the line of sight of people. So, the angel falls although already known to the world, but have the chance to witness its elegant charm person or scanty.

In 2012 March, my husband and I began the difficult "pilgrimage". We first arrived in Pto.Ordaz from the Venezuelan capital of Caracas, turn to Canaima National Park (Canaima), in Tupu camp. The afternoon by boat and the walking tour of Sapo falls (a prelude to the angel falls), worn across the waterfall shuilian Dong feels like a shower. To Sapito (Prelude Angel Falls two) the waterfall at the top, can see Pingdingshan's magnificent, also can feel the waterfall leaps from the toes before rushing, dripping fun.

Pingdingshan top level with the knife cut, the mountain is exuberant, monkeys and macaws songs sound as one falls, another rises; at the top of the hill is a tropical savanna scene, around covered with cotton candy clouds. A hundred waterfall the mountain cut into pieces, far see spread like the vast blue sea on a small island. In the depths of the cloud steaming fog cover, hide the angel falls. Far from here is Conan Doyle's "Lost World" inspiration, nearly is "flying Pixar" location.

The very next day morning by the hard wooden boats against the current, because it is the dry season, the river water level is low, the bottom often bumped into river pebbles, the man on the boat must constantly underground ship, make concerted efforts to board the ship out to deep water, in order to continue the voyage. This ship carrying out repeated dozens of times, finally in 5.5 hours, arrive the Mouse Island (Isla Raton) camp, his clothes were soaked with sweat. Sunset nearly, change brought about by the climbing shoes, a long-sleeved underwear, insect repellent, had bonfire barbecue chicken and cream polenta cake, with chuluun River, the Yellow River water to brush your teeth after washing the face, be tired out and fell in a hammock. However, although put on warm clothes long trousers, the night will be cold temperatures have frozen up.
