10 Things to Do in Guyana

Get more Tips here!
Guyana is one of those destinations you wouldn't think as first on the list. However, this Caribbean country will surprised you for sure. Have a look of the things you can do there.

1) Spot the local wildlife
Not only the landscapes are beautiful, the fauna of Guyana is impressive. You should go there and it will surprise you with unique animals such as an anteater, a giant river otters, a harpy eagle, cock-of-the rock birds, black caymans and even a jaguar.

2) Go hiking
Althought the weather is very hot and wet, it's still a must do in Guyana. You can go to the Dolomites. Sometimes it has hard paths that will test your resistance. But in the end it will worth it. After a long day of hiking, you can always reward you with a nice meal, right?

3) Go on a boat ride
The best way to move around Guyana is by boat. If you go to the Rupununi rivers you won't regret it at all. Its local flora and fauna will amaze you as well as the beautiful landscapes that will surround you all the way, and make you feel alive.

4) Explore Georgetown
It's capital is a place you shouldn't miss. I's a colorful city full of local markets such as Bourda and Starbroek Market. Also, St. George’s Cathedral is one of the top Guyana tourist attractions and a must see. Plus a lot of more places to see. So, don't forget about it.

5) Walk through the forest
Well, taking into account its big jungle, of course, we recomendo you to go there and explore it. For sure, it will be kind of a new feeling for you. Inside the jungle birdwatching is a must do. But don't forget about the insects and muddy ground. Go prepared or don't go. We warned you...

6) Don't forget the canopy of Iwokrama
The Iwokrama Rainforest is a great way to appreciate the nature. You'll find a series of suspension bridges hoisted 30 meters above the forest floor from where where you could take the best pictures ever. The starting point is located at about 1 km from the lodge, via a walk in the forest and a staircase of around 160 steps.

7) Go to Kaieteur Falls
These are nothing like the Iguazu Falls or the Victoria Falls which are already wonderful. These falls will blow your mind with their spectacular views. The easiest way to go there is to taking a small plane in Georgetown, or you can always do a 5-day overland journey up river and go hiking.

8) Try the local food
Guyana melts different cultures in its food, such as Caribbean, Indian... and that will only get you licking your plate because of this absolutely delicious food full of tropical fruit and vegetables. However, keep in mind that the word “bake” in fact means fried dough of bread so that you won't have any misunderstanding

9) Sleep in hammocks
This is how most of the indigenous communities sleep and you should try it too. This experience is like being one to one with nature, alone in the dark, in harmony with the environment. It's one of the most special sensations that you can experience. Just do it!

10) Go to Rewa
Located in the North Rupununi region of Guyana, you must take an hour and 15 minutes flight on a 13 seater and a one hour boat ride along the Rupununi River, because it's completely isolated: no cars; no phone and no internet connection. But this is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Guyana to appreciate the wild nature and outdoor activities.

Would you ever thought you could do all of these in Guyana?

Guyana -- The Rupununi

In the south west of Guyana on the eastern shoulder of South America, is the Rupununi. It's an ideal location where eco-tourists, photographers, artists and bird-watchers can explore Guyana's natural beauty and discover the wildlife that inhabits the Rainforest, Mountains and Savannah. We travel deep into the interior and stay at ranches and Amerindian villages where we experience the local culture and enjoy a unique blend of Creole, Guyanese and Brazilian cuisine. At the Iwokrama field station local Amerinidans are being taught the skills of forest rangers and nature guides documenting the species of frogs, snakes and birds that inhabit the region; and at Karanambu, we meet Diane McTurk, conservationist and world-renowned expert on giant otters.

The Guianas: South America's Wild Coast

At the top of South America are three small territories. Until about ten years ago, not a single road connected them to the outside world. They are some of the world’s least talked about places and yet all three have interesting stories to tell. Stories of sugar and slavery, calypso and cults. In this series of videos I’m going to tell the story, of the Guianas...

Jungle Survival in Guyana

Guyana's tropical rainforest is home to some of the densest jungles found on the planet. This lush area of greenery is only broken by its many waterways and indigenous communities found along its path.

Here you will learn how to set your own tent and hammock, fish like the locals, sleep under the lush canopy of the rainforest or among the stars of the savannahs and have a truly once in a lifetime experience.

Guyana - Undiscovered South America

Guyana is English speaking, culturally Caribbean and one of the last wild frontiers of South America. It's a land of pulsating music, Amerindian culture and some truly matchless wildlife encounters. Home to great rum, pristine rainforest and the vaqueros (cowboys) of the savannahs, Guyana is one of the few places left where raw adventure is still the rule, rather than the exception. Boasting one of the last tracts of virgin rainforest left on the planet, its can boast a quite stunning array of natural attractions, with some 800 species of birds being recorded here including the resplendent cock-of-the-rock.

An intoxicating combination of wild nature, community tourism and old-fashioned hospitality, this rich haven also includes the tropical Big Five - jaguar, giant river otter, giant anteater, black caiman and harpy eagle.

One of South America’s finest undiscovered eco-tourism destinations, the waning grandeur of its colonial capital, Georgetown, surrounded as it with flat coastal plains and flooded savannahs, offers up a genteel contrast to the lush Amazonian landscapes of its interior, where the thundering waters of Kaieteur Falls presents us with one of the world’s most spectacular waterfalls. One of the planet’s last great adventures, be amongst the first to discover this little-known paradise of South America.
