The only alternative to flying is to boat and hike to Kaieteur Falls; indeed, a much more exciting way that will leave you with a lasting impression of the rainforest.
It allowed me time to see Amatuk Falls, or the Falls of Love (Ama=love, tuk=falls), which I had been hearing all night as the pleasant and peaceful background music to the aggressive and relentless rain. Tony explained the beautiful legend: once, a princess of a local tribe was chased by a man of a foreign tribe whom she did not fancy. Two twin brothers who loved her but could not get her, were hunting in the neighborhood. The princess cried for help while trying to escape, but was only heard by a deer. When later, the deer was chased by the twins, it told them about the dire position of the princess. Promising they would not harm the deer, the twin brothers were led to the princess. At that time, God asked the princess what she wanted; she asked to be so that she could not be held by anyone, and was turned into a waterfall. The twins were in despair, they begged God to be close to the princess and were turned into two similar hills right behind the watefalls. The chasing lord asked to be close to the princess, too, and was changed into the rocks over which the waterfalls run up to this day.
