Kaieteur, one of the worlds natural wonders, flowing over a sandstone conglomerate plateau into a gorge 822 feet deep, five times, the height of Niagara Falls. No other waterfall in the world can boast the magnitude of Kaieteur’s 741ft sheer drop. Kaie-teur (Old Man’s Falls) derives its name from the Patamona Amerindian legend that Kai, one of the tribe’s chiefs, sacrificed himself for the benefit of his people, by canoeing over the falls. Kai believed that his sacrifice would encourage the Great Spirit Makonaina to save the tribe from being destroyed by the savage Carubishi. Kaieteur supports a unique micro environment with Tank Bromeliads, the largest in the world, in which the tiny Golden frog spends its entire life The rarely seen Guiana cock-of-the-rock nests close by.
