Kaieteur Falls is a high volume, plunge waterfall situated in Guyana
within Kaieteur National Park. At a height of 741ft (226m), has the
‘largest single drop’ for a waterfall, in the world. It is five times
higher than Niagara Falls, and twice as tall as Victoria Falls. In the
Amerindian language, Kaieteur means ‘old-man-fall’, reportedly due to an
old man who was pushed over the falls on a boat by his relatives.
