Orinduik Falls
A broad waterfall formed by terraces of jasper rock on the Brazilian border, where you can soak in natural pools and which is often visited on the same flight as Kaieteur Falls.
Orinduik Falls lies on the Ireng River, where the water flows over layers of reddish-brown jasper steps, forming a wide, shallow, multi-tiered waterfall. The opposite bank is Brazil. Unlike the grandeur of Kaieteur, this site is known for its natural jacuzzi-like pools, where you can get into the water. Most visitors reach it on a combined tour from Georgetown that includes Kaieteur Falls and Orinduik Falls by small plane, with about one hour spent here. Bring a swimsuit and water shoes, and watch your step, as the rock surfaces are slippery.
