Kaieteur Falls is a waterfall on the potaro in kaieteur national park, central Essequibo Territory, Guyana. It is 226 metres (741 ft) high
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 zimbabae in Africa. It is a single drop waterfall and is the 123rd tallest (single and multi-drop waterfall) in the world, according to the world waterfalls database
On 24 April 1870, Charles barington brown, one of two British geologists appointed government surveyors to the colony of British guinan (now known as guyana), became the first European to see Kaieteur Falls. The other surveyor was james sawkins. Brown and James Sawkins arrived inGeorgetown in 1867 and did some of their mapping and preparation of geological reports together, some in separate expeditions, but Sawkins had taken a break from his work when Brown came upon Kaieteur.
