Orinduik Falls is a wide, stair-stepped waterfall on the border between Guyana and Brazil. Instead of one big drop, the water slides down many broad rocky steps of red jasper stone.
People love Orinduik because you can safely splash and swim in its natural rock pools. Surrounded by rolling green hills, it feels like a giant playground made of water and stone.
The gentle steps of the falls form calm pools where the water is shallow and cool. It is one of the few big waterfalls where visitors can happily wade in and cool off.
The falls flow over a special red and pink rock called jasper, which sparkles when it is wet. The colorful stone makes the whole waterfall look like a giant staircase of jewels.
Unlike the flat jungle, Orinduik sits among open grassy hills that roll on for miles. The wide views and fresh breeze make it a lovely spot for a picnic and photos.
