Kaieteur National Park Kaieteur National Park Kaieteur National Park is a National Park located in the Potaro-Siparuni Region of Guyana. The Park's boundaries and purpose are defined in the Kaieteur National Park Act, and was created to preserve the natural scenery (including Kaieteur Falls), and its fauna and flora. The Act is administered by the Kaieteur National Park Commission. The park is in the Guianan moist forests ecoregion. It is served by Kaieteur International Airport, which is at Kaieteur Falls. Original boundaries: Commencing at a point on the left bank of the Potaro River, below the Tukeit Rest House Compound, then along the
Shoshone Falls to the Shoshone Falls area. Over the next thirty years, American and British-Canadian fur trappers hunted throughout south-central Idaho and are believed to have observed Shoshone Falls. However, none of those who kept journals mentioned the feature. John C. Frémont passed through the Shoshone Falls area during his 1843 expedition, which aimed to map the country through which passed the western half of the Oregon Trail. None of his party observed the falls, however, because they left the river canyon (probably near Murtaugh) and cut southwest across a sandy plain to reach Rock Creek. They returned to the canyon rim
