Kaieteur Falls is Guyana’s most iconic natural wonder and one of the world’s most powerful single-drop waterfalls. Located on the Potaro River within Kaieteur National Park in the central Pakaraima Mountains, it plunges 226 meters (741 feet) in a single drop—about 5 times taller than Niagara Falls and twice the height of Victoria Falls. When including its lower cascades, the total height reaches 251 meters (822 feet). The falls average a flow rate of 663 cubic meters per second, making it among the most powerful waterfalls globally. Discovered by British geologist Charles Barrington Brown in 1870, the name "Kaieteur" means "falls of Kai" in local indigenous dialect, referencing Chief Kai who sacrificed himself to save his tribe according to Patamona legend. The park hosts unique endemic species like the golden rocket frog and exotic flora found only thereBook now: 592-676-4117
