Kaieteur Falls. A single, uninterrupted drop nearly five times the height of Niagara pours off the Guiana Shield through untouched rainforest, with no roads and only a grass airstrip connecting it to the outside world. Golden rocket frogs live nowhere else on Earth but the bromeliads at its rim.
King Edward VIII Falls. King Edward VIII Falls is an 260-metre-tall single plunge waterfall found on the Semang River in the Cuyuni-Mazaruni highlands, named for King Edward VIII. Waterfall has formed on the escarpment of Pacaraima Mountains and has eroded the Precambrian quartzite and conglomerate, forming an amphitheatre.
King George VI Falls. King George VI Falls, also known as Salto Oshi or Oshi Falls, is located on the Oshi River in the Cuyuni-Mazaruni region of Guyana. This waterfall is rarely visited.
