Short guide to Guyana
Bordered by Suriname, Venezuela, Brazil and the Atlantic Ocean, the tiny country of Guyana is home to one of the most spectacular sights in the world. Imagine a cascade of water falling from a height five times that of Niagara Falls and you’re at Kaieteur Falls surrounded by the rainforest; an unforgettable sight.
As the only English-speaking nation on the continent, leftovers from the days of British Guiana, and Guyana differs from the surrounding countries. While Creole gives the country its distinctive flavour and flair, it also makes it a more Caribbean-style vacation destination. History is noticeable when visiting Georgetown. Get a view of the 1900s through the wooden homes standing high on stilts, and discover ageing colonial architecture.
Go inland and Guyana becomes a tropical jungle with the Amazonian appeal. Trekking opportunities abound as well as biking and other eco-tourism activities. The plains surrounding the Pakaraima Mountains offer many rivers to raft on or fish in. Over a hundred Amerindian tribes share this isolated land, far from the bustling towns along the busy coast.
Fascinating at every turn, Guyana, though troubled by a few corrupt politicians, has maintained its strong desire to see the tourism industry thrive. Visitors are unfazed by the high crime rate, bumpy roads and high prices, and leave the little country of Guyana with lasting memories
