Vast Country, Epic Adventures
Land of Giants
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.
Feel naturally at home with warm and friendly people. Meet people from the nine Indigenous groups (Wapishanas, Arecunas, Makushis, Warraus, Arawaks, Caribs, Akawaios, Patamonas, and Wai-Wais) in addition to East Indians, Africans, Chinese, Portuguese and other Europeans. Only 16% of the landscape is occupied by most of the country’s population—leaving the rest ready for exploration.
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.
