Welcome
to Guyana, land of the mythical city of gold, El Dorado. Welcome to a
tropical retreat filled with sunshine. A place of remote nature resorts
filled with peace and quiet; where the staff are warm and understanding.
A place where self-discovery is found in cool refreshing lakes, primeval
rainforests just waiting to be trekked and explored and horse back rides
across rugged landscapes of the Rupununi Savannahs where cowboys rear
cattle the old fashioned way. Become enchanted and surprised by the astonishing
variety of wildlife such as the Giant River Otter, the mighty Jaguar,
the boisterous Howler monkeys, Black Caiman and the ferocious Piranha
fish of the Rupununi River, and the largest freshwater fish in the world,
the Arapaima. Take pictures of the scarlet, yellow and blue Macaws, the
red and black Toucans, and the majestic Cock-of-the-rock; just a few of
the more than 700 different species of birds native to Guyana. Visit Shell
Beach, nesting site for the Leatherback, Hawksbill, Oliver Ridley, and
Green turtles.
Sample and savor the many exotic dishes that our people of different ethnic
races still prepare as their forefathers did. Choose from the hot and
spicy curry, to the delicious black pudding, to the satisfying “cook-up”
and the many other exotic culinary delights waiting to tease your palate.
Be a part of our night life and live it up Guyanese style! Party the night
away at our discos and bars situated in the heart of our capital city
Georgetown. Discover the beer the Caribbean and the world rates as one
of the best, if not the best-Banks Beer! Be delighted by our different
award winning Rums, like the El Dorado 15 Year Old and the XM Royal 10
Year Old, the best in the world, bar none!
When you need to relax and recharge, journey away to a quiet creek for
some fresh water fishing or take a jet boating trip on the Mazaruni River
with family and friends, or camp out in the enclaves of our natural Rainforest.
Visit the world famous and majestic Kaieteur Falls, five times the height
of Niagara Falls and even more beautiful.
Go site seeing in picturesque Georgetown, filled with striking Dutch and
British architecture of the 18TH and 19TH centuries. See the world's tallest
wooden building, the St. George's Cathedral; snap a photo of our City
Hall, gothic architecture at its best; visit the Botanical and Promenade
Gardens, both of which have extensive collections of tropical flora, and;
don't miss the Umana Yama, the meeting place for Foreign Ministers, built
by our own native Guyanese, the Wai Wai tribe of Amerindians.
Shop for pottery, sculpture, paintings, hammocks and many more exotic
craft items at the various craft shops. Survey and select 18 carat gold
and diamond jewellery for yourself and loved ones in the famous Stabroek
Market; built entirely of cast iron in 1792; or at one of our many jewellery
houses.
Come discover Guyana, a blend of ancient and modern, and return home with
your spirit refreshed and renewed. Discover Guyana. Discover yourself.
