Guyana is one of the least visited places in the world. Virtually untouched by tourism, English is its first language and cricket the national sport. Culturally it's a melting pot of Afro-Caribbean, Amerindian, European and Asian influences.
Guyana has vast areas covered by virgin rainforest, savannah and ancient tablelands over which spill the stunning Kaieteur Falls. In fact, their trips to explore Guyana's wildlife wilderness have raised the country to the status of favourite for several of our consultants, and we have probably the greatest in-depth knowledge of Guyana of any company in the UK
We can take you deep into the interior where you'll be rewarded with magnificent jungle scenery and wildlife viewing unrivalled in Latin America. The rainforest is home to jaguar, giant otter, tapir and over 800 bird species.
Travel is by river, dirt road or by light plane. Many of its simple lodges are community-based and double up as research projects. Highlights of these include Iwokrama Field Station, surrounded by pristine rainforest, and Karanambu Ranch in the Rupununi savannah.
Guyana can be combined with Suriname and French Guyana, as in our once-a-year group tour led by JLA founder Chris Parrott later this year; or a wind down on the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago. We offer tailor-made holidays in Guyana.
