After a twenty ( 20 ) minutes trek led by park rangers , there are three main viewpoints to witness the majestic beauty of the Kaieteur Falls . These are Johnson , Boy Scout , and Rainbow viewpoints named after the visible rainbows you can often see at this spot . Two other points , Break and Lookout , are closed for general visitors and require special permission from the Protected Areas Commission to visit .
We were lucky to spot the tiny Golden Frog ( Anomaloglossusbeebei ) which is only found at the Kaieteur National Park . He was a friendly little fellow found in the leaves on the edge of the falls .
Some of the other favoured species visitors hope to see in the park are the Jaguar , Giant Otter , the brilliantly coloured cock-of-the-rockand South America ’ s largest butterfly .
Trying to get the best photos and immersing in the beauty and strength of the Kaieteur was worth the trek . After taking several photos of the best scenery , we returned to the guest house for a short lunch break before making our way over to the Orinduik Falls .
