what is the highest waterfall in the world?

The highest waterfall in the world is Angel Falls (also known as Kerepakupai Merú), located in Venezuela. It has a total height of 979 meters (3,212 feet), with an uninterrupted main plunge of 807 meters (2,648 feet). Angel Falls drops from the Auyán-tepui mountain in Canaima National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This makes Angel Falls the tallest uninterrupted waterfall on Earth. There is some debate whether Angel Falls or South Africa's Tugela Falls (at 948 meters) holds the title of the tallest, but Angel Falls is generally recognized as the highest waterfall in the world. Thus, the highest waterfall in the world is Angel Falls in Venezuela.
