    Description

    Kukenaam Falls is often erroneously cited as being one of the 5 tallest waterfalls on the planet. The falls are located in the eastern part of Venezuela, near the border with Guyana. Dropping off the top of Kukenaam Tepui, the falls appear quite similar to Angel Falls. A Venezuelan National Park document quoted a height figure of 674m in a sheer plunge.
