Majestic Kaieteur Falls
THE CROWN JEWEL

Majestic
Kaieteur Falls

A single sheet of water four times the height of Niagara, plunging 226 metres into an ancient gorge deep in the rainforest — and you'll likely have it entirely to yourself.

No barriers, no crowds, no queues. Come at dawn and the falls are wrapped in rainbows; stay till dusk and thousands of swifts spiral behind the curtain of water to roost.
