Guyana has an irresistible combination
of fascinating and breathtaking
natural beauty: pristine Amazonian
rainforests, immense waterfalls,
amazing wildlife, a vibrant indigenous
culture, rich cultural heritage and the
most hospitable and friendly people
in the world. Guyana is a paradise for
the nature lover, adventure seeker and
the eco tourist alike.
As opposed to the sun-and-sand
tourism product offered by many
of its Caribbean neighbors, Guyana
offers a distinct product—vast open
spaces, sprawling savannahs, virgin
rainforests, mountains, rvers and
waterfalls, the most famous of which
is the majestic Kaieteur Falls, known
to be the highest single drop waterfall
in the world and five times taller than
Niagara Falls.
Guyana also boasts an abundance of
wildlife that includes more than 800
species of birds and over 1000 tree
types in its virgin rainforest, numerous
species of flora, a variety of fauna and
spectacular birdlife. These sites are
accessible by land, air and river and
are served by high-quality eco- resorts
in the interior.
The capital, Georgetown, is well
known for its picturesque, treelined
avenues, bustling markets, and
wooden buildings, including the
renowned St. George’s
Cathedral, reportedly the world’s
tallest wooden building.
Visitors can explore the Rupununi
Savannahs, the huge rivers and lakes
of the Essequibo, historic Dutch forts,
the Demerara River and creeks or
fish for peacock bass up the Abary or
Mahaica Creeks.
There are resorts in all the various
locations suitably outfitted for your
comfort and safety: Nature Resorts
in the Essequibo River and coast,
Eco Lodges in the Rupununi either
privately owned or managed by the
Community for short and overnight
visits, a drive from the Capital city to
the Linden Highway for a day at the
creek offers something different to
suit your needs.
The Linden Highway resorts or fun
parks are ideal on a low budget or
if you do not want to travel long
distances. You can get to one of them
from the Capital within 90 minutes.
