KAIETEUR FALLS

Kaieteur Falls is Guyana's greatest scenic wonder. The Potaro River is said to drop some 221m with a width of nearly 100m (though rainy-season dimensions of 741ft high and 370ft wide are often quoted); so the falls has got world class dimensions. In fact, there are claims that this waterfall is the tallest single-drop waterfall (that technicality is important) in the world (though I swear Norway's got Vettisfossen, which is a permanent single-drop waterfall that's taller).

I tend to think of Kaieteur Falls as that "in between" waterfall that doesn't quite have the width and power of the Big 3 (Iguazu Falls, Victoria Falls, and Niagara Falls) nor the height of the tallest waterfalls in the world (e.g. Angel Falls or Yosemite Falls). Still, it's taller, wider, and more powerful than most other waterfalls in the world and definitely ought to get more props than it presently gets.
