The Highest Waterfall in the World is Angel Falls.
The tallest waterfall in the world with a total height of 3,212 feet (979m) and a clear drop measuring 2,648 feet (807m), is Angel Falls (Kerepakupai merú ) located in the Canaima National Park
, in the Gran Sabana region of Bolivar State, Venezuela. The first to discover the waterfall was Ernesto de Santa Cruz in 1910. Notwithstanding this, the story of pilot Jimmy Angel who first saw the falls in 1937 (and subsequently nose-dived into them) is far more famous. Luckily, he and all the passengers escaped unharmed and received near-legendary status in Venezuela. Angel Falls were named after him. They are also known as Kerepakupai merú (in indigenous) which means "fall from the deepest place."
The Second Highest Waterfall in the World is Waihilau Falls.
In Hawaii's large Waimanu Valley, the Waihilau Falls are the second tallest in the world, with an estimated drop of 2,600 feet (792m). For hikers, the valley is extremely fascinating - the whole area was abandoned in 1940 and it has become one of the few unaltered and unspoiled locations in Hawaii. And if you get to see a "monstrous" rainbow, the word "beautiful" will not adequately describe what you'll see.
The Third Highest Waterfall in the World is Monge Falls (Mongefossen)
Mongefossen, in Norway is the tallest waterfall in the country with a total drop estimated to be at 2,535 feet (773m). Most of its water is used for hydroelectric production, which is the main reason why it's dry most of the year, unless you get there during the great thawing of the snow (mid-spring to mid-summer).
