Visitng capital Georgetown

ZiaLaterUnder-the-radar Guyana excels in ecotourism, of course, but since you'll be flying into/out of its capital, this Caribbean-feeling city of around 118,000 is well worth spending at least a couple of days in. A writer for the travel site TripSavvy.com explains why: https://www.tripsavvy.com/georgetown-guyana-visitors-guide-1637080

  • It seems like recently, every year some travel publication pegs Guyana as one the *the* places to visit that year, and ´24 is no different. See Australian travel site Escape.com´s reasons: https://www.escape.com.au/destinations/new-upcoming-tourist-destina...

  • One of South America's most splendid "tepuis" (tabletop mountains), surrounded by cliffs 400 to 1,000 meters high, is located at the junction of Guyana with Brazil and Venezuela (in whose territory 85% of it lies), and you can only get up here by rock climbing (no thanks) or helicopter charter.

  • Hi ..  I would like to discuss Tourism in Guyana  at the present time in the COVID-19 era.

  • Whenever you have a chance, Dorothy. It sounds like you had quite an adventure!
  • Sure, Jose. I have zillions of pix, none of them edited as yet. But I'm not sure how to post any here. It's a land of rivers. Lots of birds--no pix of them though. I went out caiman-hunting one night with a research team; fascinating. I was mostly down in the southern savannah area near the Rupununi River, not in jungley areas.
  • I've always wanted to go to the three Guyanas. If you have time to post some pics on the site, I'd love to see them, Dorothy!
  • Dorothy the insect bites don't scare me and you've just put Guyana on my wish list.
  • I'm just back from three weeks in fascinating Guyana. Loved it--even though I'm covered with insect bites. Sadly, the looked-forward-to excursion to Kaietur Falls was cancelled that very morning, due to weather conditions at destination. And I left the next day. But Yupukari and Karanambu were wonderful. I highly recommend Guyana as a country worth exploring.
