Introduction to Guyana
Take a Guyana holiday and experience an incredible, largely unexplored land of unspoilt wilderness that has a mixture of Caribbean and Amerindian influences, virgin rainforest and sprawling river systems.
Georgetown, Guyana's colonial capital, lies at the mouth of the Demerara River and is known locally as the 'Garden City of the Caribbean'. The capital includes some very interesting sites including Stabroek Market, the national museum, the Botanical Gardens, the Zoo, with its beautifully laid out enclosure of Victorian bridges, pavilions, palms and lily ponds and St George's Cathedral, the supposed tallest wooden structure in the world.
Out of the capital, on the Potaro River are the impressive Kaieteur Falls, isolated in dense tropical rainforest. Jungle adventures abound and the wildlife here is spectacular. Several National Parks and Wildlife Reserves protect numerous animals such as the giant otter, armadillo, anteater, tapir, ocelot, monkeys and the resplendent cock of the rock.
Whether you wish to watch a cricket match, join a guided tour of the sugar or cassava plantations or explore the Amazon rainforest, a holiday in Guyana is a fantastic opportunity waiting to be discovered.
