Kaieteur Falls is a beautiful waterfall which is located on the Potaro River, Guyana. It is 251 meters (822 ft) high when measured from its plunge to a series of steep cascades. The most noticeable feature of Kaieteur Falls is its combination of great height and large volume (the average flow rate is 663 cubic meters per second). It is one of the most powerful waterfalls in the world, thus it is a desirable destination for many tourists.

One of Bohol’s, a province in Philippines, most famous places is the Chocolate Hills. They consist of more than 1,000 hills which cover an area of around 50 km2. Those hills vary between 30 to 50 meters high. During the dry season, the green grass which covers the hills turns brown (like chocolate). That is where the name of the hills comes from. Up to this day, it is still unclear how those hills were formed.
