Kaieteur Falls is a waterfall on the Potaro
River in Kaieteur National Park, central Essequibo Territory, Guyana. It is 226
metres (741 ft) high when measured from its plunge over a sandstone and
conglomerate cliff to the first break. It then flows over a series of steep
cascades that, when included in the measurements, bring the total height to 251
metres (822 ft). While many falls have greater height, few have the combination
of height and water volume, and Kaieteur is among the most powerful waterfalls
in the world with an average flow rate of 663 cubic metres per second (23,400
cubic feet per second).
Kaieteur Falls is about four times higher than the Niagara Falls, on the border between Canada and the United States and about twice the height of the Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe in Africa. It is a single drop waterfall.
