It’s located within the Amazon rainforest.  The waterfall has a total height of 226 meters (741 feet) which consists of a single drop. Because it’s so wide, it’s one of the most powerful waterfalls in the world with a flow rate of 663 cubic meters per second (23,400 cubic feet per second).

It’s the centerpiece of the Kaieteur National Park and one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country. Despite its remote location, it can easily be reached via the Kaieteur International Airport nearby.
