This is Kaieteur Falls,
Which is about three times higher than the more well known Niagara Falls and about two times the height of the Victoria
Falls.
Kaieteur is located in the central part of Guyana Highlands, consisting of several billion years old rocks. This part of Guyana Highlands contains higher ridge named - Pakaraima Mountains, consisting of plateaus with steep sides.
Guyana is rich with waterfalls but this region is superior in this respect. Numerous powerful rivers fall here over the edges of plateaus.
