Kaieteur National Park

Kaieteur National Park contains extensive rainforest ecosystems and features a 741-foot waterfall dropping into the Potaro River from sandstone cliffs.

The park, established in 1929 with an initial area of 10 square kilometers, expanded to 630 square kilometers through a presidential order in 1999.

Indigenous communities near the park maintain traditional practices that reflect their deep connection to the forest and its natural resources.

Access to the park requires arrangements through authorized tour operators who coordinate small aircraft flights from Georgetown to the park's airstrip.

The Guiana Cock-of-the-rock, a bright orange bird species, nests in the park's rocky outcrops near the falls.
