Orinduik waterfall has formed on sturdy rocks of pure, red jasper - a beautiful ornamental stone. This is not unique - rather many waterfalls in this part of South America have formed on this stone.
The true size of falls can be appreciated from the air. River has many steps before and after the falls. Falls themselves have three major steps and numerous smaller ones. Steps have complex configuration, with an island in the middle.
Name of waterfall originates from a local Carib (possibly - Patamona) name ("orin" or similar word) - which in turn is a name to a plant which grows in the rocks in the stream.
