This is definitely a destination for the adventurous. It’s a place for getting away from the modern world and out into the wilderness.

Squeezed in between Venezuela, Brazil and Suriname on South America’s Caribbean coast, the small English-speaking country of Guyana is a delight for the intrepid traveller and those who want to visit a genuinely untouched wilderness.
To make a visit here is really to take a step into uncharted territory as travellers currently number less than 2,000 a year. Yet there are a myriad of sights to see, from virgin rainforest to rolling savannah, spectacular birdlife and mammals that include giant river otters and jaguar, crashing waterfalls and indigenous villages. Guyana is pristine, unspoilt and will provide a real adventure.
