Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrive at CIJ airport, met and transfer to hotel.
Day 2: Georgetown walking city tour.
Day 3: After breakfast the next morning you will be escorted to your bus for the journey to the gold mining town of Madhia, passing through Linden (mining town) along a dusty road to Mabura Hills and Konawaruk. The short drive from Madhia to Pamela landing stage on the Potaro River will be your last comfort travel for a few days. By boat you travel upstream to near Amatuk Falls where you can take a quick dip in refreshing river water accompanied by the sound of water gushing down the Falls. Overnight in jungle camp.
Includes:(L, D)
Day 4: After breakfast you change to another boat above the Falls to continue your river journey through the Kaieteur Gorge whose steep slopes rise either side 2,000ft, some with bare rock faces resembling ancient temples. This will bring you to your next campsite at Waratuk Falls. Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided.
Day 5: After an early breakfast, you begin the last leg of the journey: an eight-hour hike from Waratuk Falls to Tukiet and an enchanting overnight camp, with refreshing swimming in the Potaro River and a spectacular view of the Kaieteur Gorge. Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided.
Day 6: From Tukiet you climb to the top of Kaieteur Falls, a four hour hike which winds through the mountains and mountain streams [more dips] to the final stage known as "Oh My God" because of its steep ascent. On reaching the top all is forgotten as you catch your first glimpse of the mighty Kaieteur Falls. At dusk clouds of thousands of swifts gather before plunging into the water of the Falls to their rocky nesting sites behind the wall of water. You sleep at Kaieteur Guest House. Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided.
Day 7: Early morning mist gives way to a memorable view of the Falls from Johnson View. Golden frogs can be seen in giant bromeliads where they spends their entire life from tadpole to maturity. In the afternoon you fly back to Georgetown by air charter. Breakfast and lunch included.
Day 8: Return flight home.
