Majestic, eternal, irresistible: Kaieteur Falls retain a unique nature atmosphere in the middle of the Guyanese land. Where else can you look straight down a 741 feet abyss with the tallest single drop waterfall thundering down right next to you?
After four days of hiking through mud, balancing on slippery tree trunks, boating on the Potaro river and sleeping in hammocks, my first sight of the ultimate goal, Kaieteur Falls, was as I had feared. I heard water thundering down in a distance, but a wall of fog blocked any view that could be had from Johnson View. Would my worst fears come true: not seeing the waterfalls? As we got closer to Kaieteur, the fog seemed to mysteriously disappear, and once we reached the very edge, it was gone. My breath was taken away from me, and I stood in awe at this eternal natural beauty. I quickly left my bag in the lodge and returned to the point where the Potaro river dives down into its own gorge.
