Amaila Falls, Waterfall at Kuribrong River in Potaro-Siparuni Region, Guyana
The cascade features a 60-meter vertical drop and stretches 45 meters wide, with water flowing at 64 cubic meters per second through the sandstone formations.
The waterfall received its name in the late 19th century after a local girl named Amelia who disappeared in the surrounding forest.
The Patamona people maintain their traditional lifestyle in the rainforest areas surrounding the waterfall, preserving their connection to this natural landmark.
Access to the waterfall requires off-road travel through the interior of Guyana, with varying water flow patterns throughout different seasons.
The planned hydroelectric power plant project at the falls aims to generate 165 megawatts of electricity for Guyana's national grid.
