Tourism - Kaieteur Falls

Kaeiteur 1997 Visit

World of Waterfalls rated Kaieteur Falls in Guyana, South America as number seven of top ten waterfalls to see.  The waterfall is five times higher than Niagara Falls, twice as high Victoria Falls and it is the largest single drop waterfall in the world.  I was there in 1997 with six other family members.  We were the only ones there with our guide and our pilot. Yes, it is absolutely stunning in its natural state. There were no railings, no souvenir shops, and just a few little signs to the falls. There were no mosquitoes either.

The falls sit atop the ancient Guyana Shield amidst some of the moist untouched rainforest left on earth. A visit to this world wonder could also yield rare wildlife settings.
