Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://guyanatravel.com/when-to-go/ https://guyanatravel.com/when-to-go/ When to go to Guyana: the two wet seasons on the coast, the single rainy season in the Rupununi, a month-by-month table, Kaieteur water levels, wildlife and the festival calendar. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://guyanatravel.com/where-to-stay/ https://guyanatravel.com/where-to-stay/ Where to stay in Guyana: Georgetown hotels you can book on Trip.com, and how the rainforest and Rupununi lodges — most of them not sold online — are booked. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/georgetown/ https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/georgetown/ Guyana’s capital mixes Dutch canals, British colonial timber architecture and Caribbean street life behind a long Atlantic seawall. Every trip starts here, and two days are well spent on the cathedral, the markets, the gardens and the rum. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/essequibo-bartica/ https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/essequibo-bartica/ The lower Essequibo is the easiest piece of the interior to reach from Georgetown: an hour by road to Parika, then speedboats to Fort Island, Bartica, river resorts and waterfalls on the Mazaruni. It works as a long day trip or a restful two or three nights. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/berbice-corentyne/ https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/berbice-corentyne/ East of Georgetown the coast road runs through the old county of Berbice — New Amsterdam on its river, the cricket-mad villages of the Corentyne, and the ferry to Suriname. It is everyday Guyana rather than a sightseeing destination, and the natural route for anyone travelling overland. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/shell-beach/ https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/shell-beach/ Shell Beach is a remote stretch of coast near the Venezuelan border, protected for the leatherback, green, hawksbill and olive ridley turtles that nest there from about March to August. Reaching it takes a flight or a long boat journey and a tolerance for very simple camping. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/kaieteur-falls/ https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/kaieteur-falls/ Kaieteur Falls plunges 226 metres off a sandstone plateau into a forested gorge, with no railings and hardly any visitors. Most people come on a day flight from Georgetown, sometimes combined with the cascades of Orinduik on the Brazilian border. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/iwokrama/ https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/iwokrama/ The Iwokrama reserve protects a vast block of rainforest in the centre of Guyana, crossed by the road to Lethem and bounded by the Essequibo. Two lodges — Iwokrama River Lodge and Atta, beside the canopy walkway — make it the easiest place in the country to stay deep in the forest. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/linden/ https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/linden/ Linden, Guyana’s second town, grew up around bauxite mines two hours south of Georgetown. Few tourists stop, but its mining heritage, blue lakes and the creek resorts of the Soesdyke–Linden Highway make an easy excursion — and every overland journey to the interior passes through. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/mount-roraima/ https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/mount-roraima/ Mount Roraima, the highest of the Pakaraima tepuis, stands where Guyana, Venezuela and Brazil meet. The walking route to the top is in Venezuela; Guyana’s side is a vertical prow reached only by serious expeditions or seen from the air. This short guide explains what is realistic. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/rupununi/ https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/rupununi/ The Rupununi is Guyana’s wild south-west: savannah, wetlands and gallery forest shared by cattle ranches and Makushi and Wapishana villages. Karanambu, Caiman House, Rewa and Dadanawa are its famous stays, Lethem its dusty border town, and the Easter rodeo its great party. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/surama-annai/ https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/surama-annai/ Surama is a Makushi village whose community-owned eco-lodge became a model for Indigenous tourism in Guyana. Half an hour south, Rock View Lodge at Annai sits where the Pakaraima foothills meet the Rupununi savannah — the natural hinge between Iwokrama and the ranch country. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/kanuku-mountains/ https://guyanatravel.com/destinations/kanuku-mountains/ The Kanuku Mountains divide the north and south Rupununi and shelter one of the richest wildlife areas in Guyana. From Lethem you can reach foothill villages, waterfalls and jungle camps in an hour or two; the interior of the range is expedition country. Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT
