Happy Travel Tuesday! My name is Marcella and I blog over at WhatAWonderfulWorld. I’m a
Londoner who loves to blog about travel and photography. Today I’m sharing a nature
filled adventure that I went on as part of my five months travelling in South America. I
hope you enjoy it

Ah, waterfalls. Such a beautiful part of nature. So mesmerising to watch and so
refreshing to stand under. Today, I am going to share my adventures to Angel Falls in
Venezuela. Angel Falls is the world’s highest interrupted waterfall. You can find it in the
Canaima National Park in Venezuela. It’s a three day trip as it’s so remote but the beauty
that surrounds the waterfall is never to be forgotten so it’s something special. You have to
go on an organised trip to get to it. Getting there is a journey in itself, so let’s go…
First step. Take this teeny, tiny plane for one hour. I spent the whole hour with gritted
teeth, clutching my stomach as you feel every slight little bump. There were five of us
plus the pilot on the plane. Looking back at these photos now I can see how pretty the
views were but I’m surprised I even managed to take photos as I just remember feeling
petrified the whole time! Once you’ve arrived and got over the
fear of the plane (i’m a bit of a scaredy cat for things like that. It probably wasn’t that
bad!) you can take a walk to the beach that is just by where you’ll stay that night. It’s
really pretty! Warm water, waterfalls, palm trees… Look… You take the boat so that you
can walk under a waterfall. It was SO loud but in a ‘nature is amazing’ kind of way. That night you sleep in little huts and
the next morning it’s time to head off on a boat through the beautifully, stunning national

almost. You see the waterfall from afar and then take a little walk to reach the bottom of
it. It’s amazing when the boat draws closer to the waterfall as you see it from a great
distance away and you think ‘wow… that’s the highest waterfall in the world!’And the view from our hammocks
that night, the world’s highest waterfall. Pretty special.
