Kaiteur Falls

Kaiteur Falls are located in Guyana in South America. They are very powerful falls since they have a large volume of water that falls from a great height. The falls are 741 feet high and are located in pristine rainforest. It is about twice the height of Victoria Falls but its volume is a little less than Vic Falls and it is about 5 times as high as Niagara Falls.


Here you can see the height and majesty of the falls in the rainy season. There is a large hollowed out area behind the falls from erosion that can be seen in the dry season.

I would really like to visit these falls as well as Guyana in general.

  1. Those are insane looking. I think I'd be afraid I'd get sucked in.
