Labor of Love does not begin to 

describe this inaugural edition of the 

Visit Guyana: Lime, Dine and Unwind 

Magazine. The fact that it was published so 

close to Guyana’s 50th Jubilee Celebrations 

was no coincidence. We thought it a fitting 

time to showoff Guyana’s amazing Resorts, 

Nightspots, Restaurants and Hotels in a way 

never before seen. 

Inside, the first time visitor will enjoy 

learning about all the hottest places they can 

relax, satisfy their craving for exotic flavours, 

sip on a cocktail and party the night away. 

Returning Guyanese will find themselves 

nodding and smiling as our articles bring to 

mind many a sweet memory. 

So without further ado, we welcome you 

and we hope you enjoy liming, dining and 

unwinding in Amazing Guyana. 

Thank you to all of our advertisers and 

everyone who supported this venture in 

any way. It is your support that continues 

to encourage us to showcase our Beautiful 

Guyana.

Message 

From Minister of Public Telecommunications with responsibility for Tourism 

Our country is 50 years old this year and 

our Golden Jubilee celebration affords 

us the opportunity to “Reflect, Celebrate 

and Inspire”. 

Everywhere you go in Guyana there is 

reminder of its beauty in everything we 

see, we touch and in everyone we meet. 

If you are visiting with us for the first time 

I say please explore and enjoy all this 

majestic “Land of Many Waters” has to 

offer. 

And if by chance you are a member of 

our diaspora or a proud home grown 

Guyanese this is an opportunity to 

reconnect with what we often take for 

granted. 

From any perspective, this is an 

auspicious time in Guyana and as 

Minister with responsibility for 

Tourism, I would like to officially welcome 

you to my beautiful home, Guyana – 

where the warmth of our people will 

entice you. 

Guyana with its pristine rainforests, exotic 

flora and fauna, magical waterfalls and 

undulating mountain ranges is an exciting 

mix of nature and adventure tourism, 

intertwined with a rich cultural heritage. 

Our kind of beauty is uncommon and 

appealing and this is the time to get out 

and about and enjoy it all. 

Take a trip up one of our majestic rivers 

like the Essequibo and drop in on Fort 


Island – the first seat of Government 

and Court of Policy when we were still a 

Dutch colony. Kaieteur Falls is magical for 

a day trip or for the more adventurous 

as a three day overland hike which will 

become a life changing experience for 

you. A visit to any of our resorts, the 

Rupununi and interior with breathtaking 

beauty, savanahs, mountains, indigenous 

communities and towns teeming with 

culture and activity are all worth a visit 

not forgetting a good cricket match on 63 

beach! 

Around Georgetown there is much to see 

and do. Our historical buildings such as St. 

George’s cathedral and the Lighthouse 

will transfix you as will a visit to Castellani 

House, home of our impressive national 

art collection. The Botanical Gardens 

offers you extraordinary experiences 

like feeding the manatees, visiting 

the Zoo and seeing the magnificent 

Victoria Amazonica. Our museums, varied 

restaurants, parks and markets are all 

just a small sample of what Georgetown 

offers. 

Guyana uniquely blends the warmth and 

vibrancy of the Caribbean and its peoples 

with the mystique and adventure which 

can only be found on the South American 

continent. The secret is now out, our 

country was recently featured in the 

Television hit series “Naked and Afraid”; 

while the world’s leading news producer, 

CNN, listed Guyana in its production of 

“Big Earth “ as one of - “101 Amazing 

Adventures of the World” and National 

Geographic confirmed we were one of 

their “Best Trips 2014”. 

Guyana and its amazing variety of exotic 

flora and fauna, its historical sights, its 

natural beauty, and that wonder of the 

world - the mighty single-drop Kaieteur 

Falls, has helped to imbue in all of us the 

need to share our gifts of nature with the 

rest of the world. 

So again, I welcome you to Guyana and 

to these pages that tell stories of some 

wondrous adventures, cuisine and 

culture. It is sure to inspire you to begin 

your journey in Guyana - South America 

Undiscovered.

Welcome to Guyana: Beautiful 

Land, Wonderful People. 

We don’t want to sound like we’re 

bragging, but Guyana, considered 

small by some at 83,000 square miles 

is definitely big on diversity! We like 

to call it the land of many…not only of 

many waters as our motto suggests, 

but of many cultures, creatures, 

cuisines, waterfalls, rivers, mountains 

and adventures. 

From our emerald forests alive with 

the music of hundreds of birds, 

serene Savannahs where the Jaguar 

and Giant anteater roam, our busy 

capital city with its quaint Dutch 

colonial and Victorian architecture, it 

is no surprise that visitors sing praises 

of our fascinating scenery. 


But the soul of Guyana lies in our 

people, united as one from six 

ancestral lines; this fusion is what 

makes the “Guyana” Lime, Dine and 

Unwind experience truly unique. 

This blend of ethnicity is the reason 

you can often find Amerindian 

Pepperpot, Indian Curry, African 

Metem, chinese fried rice, European 

Inspired cakes and pastries and 

Portugese Garlic pork all together on 

many a menu. 

Long considered one of the most 

hospitable countries in the world, we 

can definitely promise that persons 

visiting for our 50th Anniversary 

Celebrations will have a truly 

unforgettable experience. 


Guyana at 50 

This year marks 50 since our 

beautiful nation Guyana became 

independent. May 26, 1966 was 

the date, which warranted new hopes, 

dreams and ideologies. When that Union 

Jack was lowered and in its place our 

Golden Arrow head raised, the feelings 

described by some who were present was 

of deep pride, joy and gratification. The 

same can be said 50 years thereafter as 

the nation comes together to celebrate 

this momentous occasion. 

There is definitely a feeling of exhilaration 

amongst our people, only heightened 

by images of our flag flapping proudly 

in the cool Guyanese breeze all across 

our nation and the event logo featuring 

Guyana’s mighty Jaguar plastered on 

buses, cars and airplanes. 

Prepare yourself for fantastic 

performances as our Poets, dramatists 

and dancers prepare for this historic 

event. 


Amanda Richards Photo 

What’s a Celebration without Music? 

Our calypsonians, Singers and steel pan 

players whose art forms have become 

ingrained into Guyanese identity, have 

been rehearsing pieces that will leave 

you in awe. With such grand people and 

so many unmentioned talents, there is 

no doubt in our minds that this 50th 

anniversary will not disappoint. Come 

join us and experience all the adventures 

and fun for yourself. 

Be a part of our float parade, or lime 

on the parapets if you wish. One thing 

is for certain, this Independence, we 

plan on being more than just a country 

celebrating freedom, we plan on being a 

community, celebrating the very essence 

of our Motto: One People, One Nation, 

One Destiny. Believe us; you’ve never 

experienced a Celebration like this before! 




The Food of 

By Cynthia Nelson 

www.tasteslikehome.org 

The food of Guyana is as diverse 

as its population. The heritage 

of our people is woven together 

from our African, Indian, Chinese, 

Portuguese, English and Indigenous 

roots. Added to that, our ancestors 

came from very specific parts of 

these countries and continents. For 

example, the Portuguese influence 

is predominantly from Madeira, the 

Indian influence, chiefly south Indian, 

the African influence, mainly west 

African, the Chinese influence, mostly 

Cantonese and Sichuan. Thus, when 

you eat in Guyana you experience 

the worldwide influence and a truly 

multicultural cuisine. 

Additionally, Guyana’s landscape 

and seascape also affects our food. 

Guyana has mountains, savannahs, 

tropical rainforests, creeks and an 

ocean coastline. All of this means 

that Guyana boasts an abundance 

and wide variety of seafood, meats, 

poultry, fruits and vegetables. Eating 

in Guyana is never boring, there is 

much to experience and enjoy. Plus 

our culture has a long and vibrant 

tradition of small family farmers and 

fisher-folk. Thus our food is always 

fresh, directly from the farm and sea 

to the table. There are large outdoor 

and open-air markets all over Guyana 

and these are a pleasure to visit just 

to see the rich abundance the country 

offers. 

When you visit Guyana, bring your 

appetite; you will be sure to fall in 

love with the food. 



Our Restaurants 

You’ve heard about our Rivers, you’ve heard about our waterfalls, 

you’ve heard about our resorts, we just want to make sure you hear 

about our Restaurants.

a “fast food, creole and casual” mood or whether you’re in a “fancy and 

formal” mood; our restaurants both impress and surprise. Guyana’s Cuisine 

extends far beyond roti and cook-up and there’s a wide array of cuisines and 

regional specialties to explore. 

So, regardless of if you’re a visitor or live right here and want to eat out in 

Guyana, the following restaurant guide is perfect for you.

Street Food 

Visiting Guyana is not just about 

exploring our rainforests or seeing 

our waterfalls. It’s also about 

tasting our famous street food. 

Guyanese Street food is exactly what the 

words conjure up: Tasty, ready-to-eat and 

inexpensive food made for a bite on the 

run. 

Sampling our Street food is the closest 

one wishing to fully immerse in our 

amazing culture can actually get to being 

Guyanese. 

There is no limit to what one can find 

in our roadside snackett’s and carts. So 

prepare your taste buds for a culinary 

adventure. 

Street foods to try: 

1. Saltfish and bakes: Fluffy and airy 

quick bread, filled with salted-fish 

fried to perfection with onions, garlic 

and tomatoes. 

2. Roti and Curry: Indian inspired 

flat bread wrapped snugly around 

various savory curries of chicken, 

beef, shrimp, channa or potatoes. 

3. Channa and Sour: Soft boiled chick 

peas lightly fried with herbs and 

spices. Enjoy with spicy pepper 

sauce. 

4. Eggball: Boiled eggs wrapped in 

seasoned potatoes and deep fried. 

Enjoy with Mango sour. 

5. Pinetarts: Small, triangle shaped 

pastries filled with pineapple jam.


Why Lime 

If you’re not from Guyana, you may be 

wondering why so much buzz about this 

whole liming thing. 

Don’t worry; from resorts, creeks, 

nightspots and the good ‘ole’ seawall, you 

will soon get the hang of it. Liming to us 

has become a sort of ‘performing art,’ in 

which one lets their hair down, send their 

worries down some mythical river in our 

interiors and enjoy the fine art of doing 

absolutely nothing other than having 

a good gaff over a cold banks on some 

street corner. 

Yeah buddai, whatever your interests and 

tastes are, we have a liming spot for you. 

Are you bookish but still cool? Choose 



from a number of cozy spots offering 

poetry or quiz nights. Are you outdoorsy 

and social? Then you won’t be able to 

resist our seawall. Do you have a knack 

for singing? If so, don’t hesitate to belt 

out “Electric Avenue” or your favourite 

oldies, rock or soca tune on a Karaoke 

night. Looking to get in touch with your 

soul? Enjoy a soak in one of the numerous 

“black water creeks”. Man, I can go on 

and on, but instead I’ll invite you to come 

experience it for yourself. 

Here in Guyana, we don’t believe in doing 

nothing for nothing’s sake, we believe 

in liming for art’s sake. So the next time 

you’re planning a trip, choose Guyana; 

come lime with us and master the ‘art of 

doing nothing.’ 


Seawall Lime 

Close your eyes and imagine this: 

cool, fresh air whisking through your 

hair or gently touching your scalp; 

the sound of gentle waves and lapping 

water touching a shoreline; the sweet 

laughter of playing children; the spicy 

smell of a proper Guyanese BBQ (done on 

a half drum of course); the crisp taste of a 

cold beer against your lips with the sweet 

melodies of Reggae or Soca music filling 

the air. I bet this sounds fascinating, 

doesn’t it? On any given afternoon, this 

is the truism of Georgetown’s magnificent 

280-mile seawalls, whose purpose has 

expanded from merely protection to one 

of entertainment and family fun. 

Don’t worry about getting hungry; with 

an abundance of vendors always around, 

your stomach and body will thank you 

for freeing them from the hum drum of 

confined spaces and derivative meals. 

If merely sitting on the seawall or walking 

on it is not enough for your adventurous 

spirit, then you should definitely slow 

down, breath and take a walk on our 

mythical jetty. There’s really nothing quite 

like it. 

With all these things going for it, its no 

surprise that every Sunday, hoards of 

people both young and old, turn out to 

lime on our famous seawalls where they 

can achieve a semblance of tranquility 

and unity with their families and friends.

Creek Lime 

A 

first visit to Guyana from any 

foreigner will most likely leave 

them astonished upon viewing 

our creeks, which line the Linden 

highway. Not one to stand in with 

the crowd of their Caribbean and 

South American buddies, our creeks 

are dark, brooding and extremely 

refreshing. Therefore, it is no surprise 

that our onyx creeks are a part of 

every adventurous heart, which 

touches our shores. 

Persons from as far up from the 


Corentyne, Mahdia and even Lethem 

can attest to the fact that our creeks 

are nothing short of extraordinary. 

That’s one of several reasons why they 

are a go to place for family outings, 

reunions, or just an afternoon lime 

with a few friends. 

So if you’re here and looking for a 

place filled with serenity, mystique 

and excitement, away from the 

pulsating days of our beautiful 

city, then take a visit to one of our 

creeks. We promise, you will not be 

disappointed.

Put the salt fish with the skin and bones 

removed, or fresh fish or fried fish on top 

of vegetables. Add the onion and ochroes.

Guyana’s Cricket Greats 

Past and Present 

As in the rest of the Caribbean, 

Guyanese cricket is a national 

passion. Guyana has contributed 

more than its fair share of excellent 

players in the West Indies side, including 

seven captains, one of whom, Clive Lloyd, 

holds the record as one of the most 

successful captains in cricket history. 

During his captaincy the WI Team had a 

run of 27 matches without defeat that 

included 11 wins in succession. Lloyd also 

led the West Indies to World Cup limitedovers 

triumph in 1975 and 1979 and saw 

his 102 against Australia in the inaugural 

World Cup final adjudged the best ODI 

performance by a Guyanese player. 

Then there is Rohan Kanhai who took the 

award for the best batting performance 

by a Guyanese player for his scintillating 

John Greene Photo 


knock of 256 against India at Calcutta 

in the 1958-59 series. He is considered 

as a cricketing legend and is famous for 

his unorthodox shots, most notably the 

“falling hook” shot, in which he finished 

his follow through lying on his back. 

Kanhai was also the fifth West Indies 

batsman to score a century in each innings 

of a Test – against Australia at Adelaide in 

the memorable 1960-61 tour. This righthanded 

West Indian batsman has featured 

in several great West Indian teams playing 

with the legendary Sir Garfield Sobers, 

and other notable Guyanese including 

the late Roy Fredericks, Lance Gibbs and 

Alvin Kallicharran. 

Carl Hooper, Shivnarine Chanderpaul 

and Ramnaresh Sarwan, all of whom 

have captained the West Indies team, 

have devoted their skills to the West 

Indies effort. Hooper enjoyed a prolific 

2002 home series against India, when 

he made a career-best of 233 runs and 

hit two other centuries in amassing 579 

runs at an average of 82.71. The lefthanded 

Chanderpaul is best known for 

his ability to be an anchor at the wicket 

for long hours. His first worthwhile impact 

on Test cricket was being the last batting 

partner of Brian Lara when Lara broke 

Gary Sobers’ record of 365. Chanderpaul 

has also made the sixth fastest century 

in Test cricket, scoring three figures in 

just 67 balls at the GCC Ground Bourda. 

Shiv, as he is affectionately called, retired 

from international cricket earlier this year 

after playing 164 Test matches - a record 

number of matches by a West Indian. He 

also has the second most runs by a West 

Indian in Test cricket; scoring 11,867 Test 

runs. 

Ramnaresh Sarwan made his debut 

against Pakistan at Bridgetown in 2000 

when he remained unbeaten in both 

innings scoring 84 in the first inning. 

The stylish right-handed batsman no 

longer plays for the WI. Recently, another 

Guyanese captain led the West Indies 

U19 team to World Cup glory. Shimron 

Hetmyer, a Berbician, marshalled his 

troops well to defeat India in the final. 

Two other Guyanese were in the team. 

They are wicket-keeper and opening 

batsman, Tevin Imlach and all-rounder 

and vice-captain Keemo Paul. 

On a final note, to Guyanese cricket is 

more than just a “Sport” it’s a religion. 

Come play some “Bat and ball” with us on 

your next visit.
