Marvel at Kaieteur Falls Guyana

“Having limited time, I too opted for the flight and swiped my credit card for a day soaring over Guyana’s Amazon Jungle and up onto the Potaro Plateau to see the great Kaieteur Falls. Flying low, the jungle beneath appears to be a blanket of every shade of green laid over the curves of the earth, so pristine is this part of the world. After an hour in the air, the plane nears the ground as it glides over the Potaro River Valley and then suddenly Kaieteur is dead ahead as if simply risen from the earth.”

“I have this picture, idk where I would post it, of my fingers reaching out over the edge (I was laying on my stomach to look down) and I can still feel how thrilling it was every time I look at it.”

“The pilot did an impressive flyover, to give the six other waterfall explorers and me some perspective of how huge this drop is. Even from the air, the Potaro River going over that cliff and plummeting the 226 meters in a single drop dwarfed us.”
