Kaieteur Falls

Guyana receives much fewer tourists than many other South American nations. It really shouldn't, though, because this stunning nation has so much to offer curious tourists. Guyana is known as the "Land of Many Waters" and is famous for its lush rainforest and sugarcane plantations.

It makes sense that Kaieteur Falls is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the nation, given this theme. This single-drop waterfall, one of the strongest on the continent, is about twice as tall as the impressive Victoria Falls. In addition, the surrounding lush greenery creates a stunning scene, filling the basin below with spray and causing rainbows to dance on the water drops. The falls' height, which is more than four times higher than Niagara Falls, is also remarkable.

This roaring waterfall can be reached by a multi-day journey, in addition to the popular day trip on a guided tour. Even though it's challenging, the hike is well worth the effort, it made our list of the best hikes in South America! This waterfall is a fantastic place to see uncommon and unusual species because it is situated right in the middle of Kaieteur National Park.
