South American vibes with splashes of French and Dutch influences. Beating Guyana is a tall order when it comes to sights – be sure to explore the Kaieteur Falls, sitting five times the height of Niagara.
It was the Dutch who first established a European presence in Guyana around 1616 and today its attractions range from the 19th century stilted wooden houses of its capital, Georgetown, to the majestic natural splendour of the towering Kaieteur Falls, five times the height of Niagara.
In addition to searching for wildlife, getting involved with conservation efforts, and helping researchers gather data on fearsome black caiman, this group trip boasts visits to local villages where age-old traditions remain and guided explorations of the colonial capital city of Georgetown.
Several national parks and wildlife reserves protect numerous animals including armadillos, tapirs, ocelots, monkeys and the resplendent cock of the rock. Guyana also offers possibly the best chance to see South America’s Big Five: the jaguar, giant otter, black caiman, giant anteater and the harpy eagle. Guyana is a mixture of Caribbean and Amerindian influences, virgin rainforest and sprawling river systems with little infrastructure and thus expensive to travel around. After the abolition of slavery in 1834, the plantation owners imported labourers from India. Indians now form the largest racial group, with most living in the agricultural areas.
