Guyana:
Perched on the north-east corner of the South American continent, Guyana stretches 450 miles from its long Atlantic coastline into dense equatorial forest and the broad savannah of the Rupununi. The picturesque capital and primary port is Georgetown, a city of comfortable, modern hotels, fine colonial buildings, and broad, tree-lined boulevards. The striking wooden architecture is reminiscent of Guyana`s centuries as a Dutch, and then a British colony. Georgetown offers an evocative introduction to the land of Guyana. Don`t miss the impressive St. George`s Cathedral, alleged to be the tallest wooden building in the world. Life in Guyana is dominated by mighty rivers, including the Demerara, the Berbice and the Essequibo, which provide essential highways into the rain forests and jungles of the interior. Mankind has made little impact here, and today Guyana remains one of the world`s most exciting destinations for adventuresome travel and exploration.
Guyana`s night life caters to different taste and preferences and provides unforgettably delightful experience as you enjoy our diverse cultures. So whether you are at a roadside bar in downtown Georgetown at a night club or on the East Coast, West Demerara or East Bank or dipping into the busy Sheriff Street night jaunts or just `chillin` as is the Guyanese expression, after dark in Guyana could present a varied menu of choices for you on your visit. Exhibitions and expos display Guyana`s unique and diverse products and talent. Painting and sculptures by local artists like Phillip Moose are often displayed at such events as well as at Castellani House on Vlissengen Road; also in the spotlight are musical symposiums that would appeal to the music lovers. A number of these symposiums feature local musicians like Paul Cort as well as international talent. The National Cultural Centre frequently stages performances in comedy, dance or other form of theatre.
Experience the extraordinary natural heritage of Guyana spreading out like a tropical carpet. Jaguars still roam the rain forest, and the unearthly cries of troupes of howler monkeys echo through the trees. The Giant River Otter, the Black Caiman, and the Arapaima (the largest freshwater fish in the world) swim in the rivers of the Rupununi and more than 700 indigenous species of birds adorn Guyana`s forests.
The tumbling rivers and dense rainforests of Guyana are filled with extraordinary natural sights. Kaieteur Falls, where the 400-foot wide Potaro River plunges 741 feet downward from the Pakaraima Plateau, is one of the world`s great waterfalls. The magnificence of Kaieteur stands beyond any comparison in its majesty and sheer size. You can also visit the striking beauty of the Orinduik Falls, the Marshall Falls, the Kaieteur Gorge and remote Mount Roraima.
Feel the beauty of the nature whisper across your heart. Discover an experience never to be forgotten. Discover the extraordinary of Guyana.
