Legend of Kai

There is a legend behind Guyana natural treasure, the world's highest one drop waterfalls. The name of the fall commemorates Chief Kai, one of the great old chieftains of the once powerful Patamona tribe. He committed self-sacrifice by canoeing himself over the falls in order that Makonaima, the Great Spirit, would save the tribe from being destroyed by the Caribs. He also did it to appease the Caribs, a raiding coastal tribe, and thereby spared his people from annihilation]. Download a stunning picture of Kaieteur here
