Powerful and wonderful

That is how we would describe Kaieteur Falls after seeing the gigantic waterfall in action. According to our tour guide, thousands of tourists come to see the Kaieteur Falls every year. No wonder why.

It has the highest single drop in the world - 226 meters. The color of the water, combined with the magnificent rainforest surrounding the fall, makes it an unbelievable sight.



Anyway, you can’t walk to the Kaieteur Falls, a mini airplane is the way to get there. Ten tourists were stuffed on board, so you can bet your life that it was very hot. There wasn’t a lot of space for our legs either. Luckily the flight from the local airport outside Georgetown to Kaieteur National Park wasn’t a pain because of the scenery from the sky.

The country is greener than anything we’ve ever seen. And there are so many trees you wouldn’t believe it, only split up by the water running in various patterns in between them. What a sight that was too!

Quite as breath
taking wasn’t the Orinduik Falls, which separates Guyana from Brazil. But it was a little pretty thing. Lisa didn’t hesitate when given the opportunity to have a little swim in the middle of nowhere. She enjoyed the Guyanese water.

After spending a whole day in the sun – for the first time during our trip – our faces have become slightly pinkish. Hopefully it will turn out to a decent tan over the next few days.

More updates from our lovely stay in Guyana is coming up. In the meantime you can share our Kaieteur-journey with us. Fasten your seatbelts!
