This is the only Angel Falls I can find.
http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=angel+falls+&categoryId=I wouldn't consider it ideal for a beginner as it requires mesh scenery to be installed.
THIS SCENERY WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY WITHOUT MESH INSTALLED FOR THE AREA.
Before giving detailed installation instructions it would help to know which OS you're using. WinXP, Vista or Win7.

I was afraid of that. It might be best if someone with Win7 can help you out.
I tried Angel Falls in my own FSX (WinXP). Installation is straightforward & the mesh is impressive. I've given up looking for the falls. My advice is to try another scenery to begin with. There's plenty to choose from.

Win7 has a glitch that causes scenery installation problems. There's a work-around, but I've had problems with some sceneries even with the work around.

what EXACTLY is the problem with you not being able to add scenery in FSX that is running on a WIN7 platform?
the steps would generally be the exact same if you were running XP or Vista. Nothing has changed INSIDE of FSX.
I too have noticed a bug being that I am on Win7 Home Premium (sp1), and have an FSX (sp2 - NON ACCELERATION) install. [ I have FSX deluxe, and the web-install of sp2 is good enough for me for now. ]
depending on what your EXACT problem is, with error messages someone might be able to help you out. But to say that you are having a problem following directions, that is a different problem altogether.

FSX Mesh South America Installation:
Create a folder (anywhere in your HD) and call it FSX_MeSA (could be any other name). That folder should be activated before the first load. In that folder, create another one and call it Scenery (no other name is allowed for that subfolder);
I don't quite understand this.I click on the white area where the video said and sometimes it works and sometimes it don't.
