King George VI Falls

King George VI Falls is a waterfall located in the Cuyuni-Mazaruni region of inland Guyana within remote forested highlands. The falls are a natural scenic feature in a sparsely populated interior river and rainforest landscape.

The site is valued for its vertical drop and forested setting and is visited by small groups arriving by river travel or aerial access; there are no extensive visitor facilities on site. Photography, short walks and landscape viewing are the primary visitor activities.

The falls were named in the era of British colonial administration for King George VI and are part of the network of rivers and waterfalls in Guyana’s interior.

King George VI Falls sits inland in the Cuyuni-Mazaruni administrative region of Guyana, surrounded by tropical rainforest and river systems and distant from coastal population centres.

• Remote access: The falls are in a remote forested part of Guyana and are most readily reached by river journeys or light aircraft serving interior airstrips.
• Name and setting: Named during the period of British colonial influence, the falls are a scenic feature of Guyana’s interior highland and river systems.

Access to King George VI Falls typically requires charter flights into the interior of Guyana followed by river travel, or long river expeditions originating from regional towns. Travel logistics are complex and best arranged through experienced local outfitters or tour operators.

• This is a very remote waterfall-arrange a guided river expedition with a reputable operator familiar with Cuyuni-Mazaruni terrain and permits.
• Bring insect protection and river-appropriate gear; river travel can take multiple days and requires logistical planning.
• Respect local indigenous communities and mining activities in the region; coordinates can be approximate and access routes change.
