The Angel Falls got its name after the American pilot, Jimmie Angel. He discovered the falls after flying over them in 1935. In 1937, Jimmie angel returned and landed on top of the falls, on 'The Devil's Mountain.' the ground was swampy, and he was unable to takeoff. Being stuck at the top of the waterfall, he hiked down for 11 days before finding civilization.
