On the morning of Monday March 21, The Equinox , TotalAdventure chartered a single engine Cessna from Ogle Airport in Georgetown. A couple of other passengers joined to help with costs. I took the seat next to the pilot.

Over The Jungle

Our one hour flight first went out over the murky waters of the Atlantic Ocean, then across the Demerara River , down the western bank. After that , houses and roads vanished, it was just thick green Amazonian jungle all the way,

The jungle was interrupted by mining operations – bauxite and gold.
Our Pilot Was Very Skilled. Flying Mainly By Sight And Also Instrument.
After an hour we were on the ground at an elevation of 1500 feet. The is jungle low most of the way, then suddenly the Earth lifts – the Guyana highlands of Guyana,Venezuela and northern Roirama, Brazil.

From the airstrip it was less than a half mile walk to the viewing points. TotalAdventure has traveled much of the world; Kaituer Falls is certainly one of the more forceful creations of nature witnessed. From 1500 feet it falls to 750 feet. According to the guides only two people have ever gone over the falls , with no trace to be found.

As it rains almost every day of the year, the river flow never slows down.

Over The Perpetual Rainbow
At this rate about 5400 visitors will come this year. A privileged few for one of the most amazing natural sights in the world.

We returned to the Park Lodge for a box lunch of curry chicken and then it was time to return to Georgetown.

Air Trajectory Guyana.

Almost every weekend are flight tours. On other days a charter may be necessary, which may be more expensive, but a better chance of having the Falls to yourself.
