Ultimate Guyana

This exhilarating adventure explores Guyana, one of South America’s last frontiers and an intoxicating mix of Caribbean culture and some of the most magnificent unspoiled natural wonders imaginable.

You begin in the capital, Georgetown, gateway for the flight to the spectacular Jasper Orinduik Falls on the Brazilian border, and Kaietaur, the world’s tallest single-drop waterfall. The journey continues into the rainforest to the millionacre Iwokrama Reserve where activities include trekking, boat trips and the chance of seeing the elusive jaguar.

You then visit the Canopy Walkway to learn more about the local communities in the savannahs, before travelling to Karanambu in the Rupununi, home of Diane McTurk who rehabilitates giant river otters. This amazing journey ends back in Georgetown enjoying the sounds of Roy Geddes, Guyana’s most famous steel pan player. (NB: This itinerary combines well with Suriname, Trinidad, Barbados or Antigua).
