=====================================

In my home country, we have many rainforests. There are lots of different animals, insects, flowers, landscapes and rivers. Guyana is famous for its waterfall called Kaieteur Falls. It is the world's only single-drop waterfall with a height of 741 feet/226 meters. I like Kaieteur Falls because not only is it beautiful but also, because of the unique way of getting to the falls. To see the falls up close, you will have to charter a plane to a small airport in the jungle area and hike up to the falls. There are 3 viewing spots where a tour guide will explain the area surrounding the falls and the history. It’s an opportunity like no other to be close to such a secluded waterfall surrounded by nature.
