So, the answer to today's "Around the World in 30 Posts" is:
Angel Falls!
Now Angel Falls is located in Venezuela. Yesterday was Brazil, today is Venezuela. As you can see that we are traveling the South American Continent. Here is a few facts about Angel Falls:
- it is located on the Churun River of the Guiana Highlands in southeastern Venezuela
- it spills from the Auyantepui into what is known as the Devil's canyon 979 Meters below.
- named after Jimmy Angel, an American pilot and gold-hunting adventurer, who discovered it in 1937.
- it is the highets waterfall in the world
- it is 20x higher than Niagra Falls!
Well as you can see, it is a pretty tall waterfall! This is another place that I want to visit if I ever go to South America. Don't you just want to dive from the top to the bottom? Pretty crazy if you asked me!
Today's clue: I was formerly the name given to the lands south of the Straits of Magellan. What place am I? Where am I located?

Have A Great Day!
