7. Kaieteur Falls, Guyana
It takes some serious effort to reach Kaieteur Falls, which is hidden deep in the Amazon rainforest in Guyana. But the reward is the world’s highest single-drop waterfall at 226 meters or 741 feet. The falls are accessed via regular flights on small planes from the capital city of Georgetown. From the airstrip landing, it’s a 15-minute walk to the top of the falls. Some of the best views, however, are seen flying in and out.
8. Yosemite Falls, California, USA
Yosemite Falls is the fifth highest waterfall in the world and the tallest in North America. Located in stunning Yosemite National Park, Yosemite Falls consists of three separate falls with a drop of 2,425 feet that give the illusion of one giant cascade of water.
