Explore Guyana
Where Adventure Meets Untouched Nature
From towering waterfalls and untouched jungle to vibrant Indigenous cultures and rare species, Guyana is nature in its rawest, most breathtaking form. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the north, and Venezuela, Brazil and Suriname, Guyana is South America’s best-kept secret.
Miles of golden savannahs, pristine virgin rainforest, hundreds of kilometres of coastline, and a hilly sand and clay region – Guyana has it all. Of the country’s population of 746,955 (2012 census), 90% lives along the coast, leaving the country’s lush interior untouched and ripe for exploration.
Although no larger than Great Britain or Oregon in the USA, with 18% of the world’s tropical forests, it is one of the four regions that make up the 270 million hectares of Guiana Shield. With breathtaking waterfalls, mighty rivers, and a large diversity of wildlife and bird species, Guyana has emerged as the playground for 21st-century explorers and travellers.
