Venezuela - Rebecca S.

Last week I took a trip to Venezuela! One of the first things that I saw there was Salto Angel (Angel Falls). Salto Angel is located in Guayana highlands, Venezuela. It is one of the number one tourist attractions in Venezuela. It is the highest waterfall in the world! Salto Angel's total height is 979m high and has a drop of 807m which is about 16 times the height of Niagara Falls! There was a lot of fog and mist around the base of the waterfall, it felt very cool and refreshing.
Here's some pictures of Salto Angel.

 Another place I went on my trip to Venezuela is Teleferico de Merida. It is the highest and longest cable-car system in the world! Teleferico de Merida is located in Parque Las Heronias, Venezuela. While your on Teleferico de Merida you can get some amazing views of the Andes Mountains as long as the clouds aren't blocking the way. It was really cold at such a high altitude, but the view was spectacular. I had such an amazing time!
Here's a picture of the monkeys.

Last on my trip I went on the Andes Skytrek Canopy Tour in Merida, Venezuela. They give zip-lining and canopy tours. I decided to go zip-lining and also go on the canopy tour before I had to go to the airport. On my way down zip-lining I saw a group of monkeys hanging from the trees. During the canopy tours I saw toucans, herons, and parrots. I was scared when I saw an anaconda nearby eating a small rodent. Other than the anaconda, I had a really great time in Venezuela. Maybe I'll go back next year!
Here's a picture of one of the toucans.
