Kaiture Falls: Longest One-Drop In the World

I heard and pledged, that one day this natural wonder, will be experienced by me. Thunderous, Roaring from afar. A narrow mountain stream meandering down the steep side, into a beautiful Falls! O no I won’t rest a bit, for “Itanamee” folk-lored and worshipped by ancestors, I was told, angrily swallowed many Porknockers! From the Potaro River below they cried: “Captain put me ashore”! This high rock mountain, Mount Rorima, that is it’s name does rise majestically into the sky! Shared among neighboring countries, this mountain top - Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela. A sight, beauty! beheld in every beholder who sets eyes upon this ancient god; that replenishes plants and small creatures above; Kaiture! Mightily and powerfully pours below!
