Salto Angel - At 979 metres high, Salto Angel in Venezuela is
the highest waterfall in the world. The local Pemon people have always known
about the falls and call them Parekupa-Meru (meaning ‘waterfall of the
deepest place’), but it was a pilot from the USA, Jimmie Angel, who made them
famous around the world. He flew over the falls in 1933 and then landed his
plane on Aiyan-tepui, the mountain at the top of the falls, in 1937. Later, the
falls took his name: Salto Angel in Spanish, Angel Falls in English. They're
very difficult to get to, but you can see them from the air or from a boat on
the Churun river.
Güell Park - At the end of the nineteenth century,
businessman Eusebi Güell bought a large hill in Barcelona, Spain. The land had
no water and not many trees, but Güell asked Antoni Gaudi, an artist and architect,
to design and build a small ‘city’ with 60 luxury houses and a park. From 1900
to 1914, Gaudi created one of the best-known
and most unusual parks in Europe, with strange-shaped
buildings and colourful sculptures which rise up from the earth. However, only
two houses were built and, because Gaudi’s style was not fashionable at the time,
nobody wanted to buy them. Güell died in 1918 and in 1923 his family gave the
park to the city.
