The “A Tribute to Jimmie Angel” expedition to Angel Falls is arranged by Angel-Eco Tours and co-lead by Angel-Eco’s President, Paul Stanley and Karen Angel, niece of Jimmie Angel and President of the Jimmie Angel Historical Project (JAHP). Ms. Angel will share her knowledge about Jimmie Angel and Ruth Robertson as we follow Robertson’s route all the way to Angel Falls.

Cascading from a cliff more than half a mile high in the exotically beautiful Venezuelan jungle south of the Orinoco River is Angel Falls ● Churún Vená ● Salto Angel, Earth’s tallest waterfall, 15 times higher than Niagara Falls. Its first drop is 2,648 feet; its total 3,212 feet. The world’s tallest waterfall is named after American aviator-explorer James “Jimmie” Crawford Angel (1899-1956). Angel first saw the waterfall 18 November 1933 while flying solo in the Churún Canyon (also known as Devil’s Canyon) in the heart of the vast tabletop mesa known as Auyántepui (Devil’s Mountain). He remarked in his pilot’s log book, “FOUND MYSELF A WATERFALL.”
