Guyana, South America’s only English speaking country, is a land of exceptional natural beauty, a splendid combination of the Caribbean and South America.

With few sealed or dirt roads, the mighty rivers dominate life in Guyana and provide essential highways into the rain forests and jungles of the interior allowing visitors to experience the extraordinary wealth of natural sights.

Setting out for the interior by boat, light aircraft or 4x4, you encounter the extraordinary natural heritage of Guyana spreading out like a tropical carpet. Kaieteur Falls, is one of the world's great waterfalls, but you can also visit the striking beauty of the Orinduik Falls, the Marshall Falls, the Kaieteur Gorge and remote Mount Roraima - the inspiration for Conan Doyle's Lost World.

Jaguar still roam the rain forest, the cries of howler monkeys echo through the trees and the Giant River Otter and Black Caiman, swim in the rivers of the Rupununi. Macaws and toucans fly through the canopy. the awesome Harpy Eagle swoops through the trees, and the elusive Guyana Cock-of-the-Rock lingers around the waters of Kaieteur Falls: more than 700 indigenous species of birds are found in Guyana's forests.

Mankind has made little impact here, and today Guyana remains one of the world's most exciting destinations for adventuresome travel and exploration.
