Potaro-Siparuni, Administrative region in south-central Guyana.
Potaro-Siparuni spans 20,051 square kilometers of dense rainforest terrain, featuring a network of rivers and mountains in the Guyana highlands.
The region became a focal point of gold mining operations during the 19th century, leading to the establishment of several mining settlements.
Indigenous Patamona communities maintain their traditions through local crafts, ceremonies, and sustainable farming practices across the region's scattered villages.
Visitors can reach the region through scheduled flights to Mahdia or Kaieteur International Airport, with local guides available for forest expeditions.
The region contains Kaieteur Falls, where water drops 741 feet into a sandstone gorge, making it among the highest single-drop waterfalls worldwide.
