Guyana is the only English-speaking country in South America, a land of almost untouched primary rainforest covering 80% of the territory. Kaieteur Falls (five times taller than Niagara), tepuis, jaguars and exceptional biodiversity make it a leading ecotourism destination for adventurers.
Kaieteur Falls is one of the most powerful waterfalls in the world: 226 m high and 100 m wide, with an impressive flow. Accessible only by plane from Georgetown, it is surrounded by primary rainforest home to the world's unique golden poison frog.
