A Promise to Visit Kaieteur Falls on my Next Trip to Guyana
Tani Gray
I've travelled to Guyana, South America three times, yet for some reason; Kaieteur Falls have eluded me. While it is a very daunting task to journey to Kaieteur Falls, I do intend to make the trip, if granted a fourth opportunity to visit Guyana.
A view of the waterfall can only be accessed by plane from either Ogle or Georgetown Airport. Flights from Georgetown to Kaieteur Falls takes an average of 45 to 50 minutes. Kaieteur Falls is located in the Amazon region of Guyana, South America, and is considered to be the world's widest single drop waterfall embedded in the untouched landscape of the Amazon jungle.
Guyana is located on the northern coast of South America, between Venezuela and Brazil and it the only English-speaking country on the South American Continent. When translated, Guyana is associated with the meaning, "land of many waters"; almost 1000km of the country is navigable by rivers. In this regard, Kaieteur Falls is located on the Potaro River in Kaieteur National Park. According to local sources, water from the Fall, plummets from 251 m (822 ft) high off the cliff's edge, making it one of the world's most powerful waterfalls regarding water volume and speed.
