Kaieteur Falls, located in Guyana's Potaro-Siparuni region, is one of the world's most powerful waterfalls. Due to its remote location within Kaieteur National Park, accessibility can be challenging, often requiring a chartered flight from Georgetown. Guided tours are highly recommended for safety and logistical reasons, as independent exploration is not advised. The best time to visit is during the dry seasons (February-April and mid-August to mid-October) when the water flow is manageable and visibility is optimal; heavy rainfall can obscure the falls. A day trip, including flights and park fees, can cost between $150-$250 USD. A typical visit lasts around 2-3 hours, providing ample time to view the falls from various vantage points and learn about the unique ecosystem.
