Nightclubs and bars in Guyana

3 more images

it's sure different partying in Guyana. We would pull up to the bar, park on the side of the road, get our drinks at the bar and sit on our cars and drink outside. Keep in mind, we were with locals! i wouldn't do this on my own!

In the hinterland, a lot of accommodation is in make-shift hammock camps.

I chose the hammock nearest the jungle, as I wanted to spend the night, knowing that between me and acres of wild, virgin rainforest, was just a thin mosquito net! What an experience! I have spent the night in a hammock before, and I sleep remarkably well in those contraptions, so I was really looking forward to the night spent here.

I was not disappointed! The sounds of the jungle at night, the incredible darkness, the knowledge that there was a wild, wild jungle out there, the wake-up call from the howler monekys in the morning - it was all magical! This really was one of the highlights of the trip!

Dress Code: Although not absolutely necessary, I changed into my night clothes. It does not get cold as such during the night, but I was chilly enough to put a sheet over me.

Led by a guide (it is very easy indeed to get lost in the rain forest during the hours of darkness), you can explore the trails around the camps.

Many animals which are not seen during the day come out at night, we saw nightjars, bats, many insects and frogs, fire flies amongst others.

There is a completely different atmosphere in the forest at night, and I would really recommend taking at least one nocturnal walk during your stay in the interior.

Dress Code: Good walking boots. A torch to see where you are going - a head torch leaves your hands free. A head net to protect you from the pesky little flies which a head torch attracts.

A popular activity during the hours of darkness, is a boat trip on the river. There are many creatures who come out during the night, but our main wildlife spotting was the spectacles Caiman.

I really loved the eerie silence and total darkness, 17 people plus guide and boatmen, all completely quiet. Absolutely amazing!

Dress Code: Dress to protect yourself from mosquitos, with long trousers and a long sleeved shirt. A tocrch is essential. A mosquito head net is recommended.

Want to dance chutney till you drop then dance to the sounds of Pete's Caribbean Fusion.

There are many small clubs. I went to a seemingly small place where I found two floors and crazy dancing until the wee hours of the morning.

In the jungle, I went to the mine workers club.
At the workers club spotted a pack of stray dogs wandering the grounds. Had to have a few more bottles of beer before wondering back to my quarters.

Dress Code: Shirt Jack for the guys, ladies are hip to the latest styles.

The Latino Bar, Le Meridien/Pegasus Hotel
Only opened in the last year, this bar has become the night spot in Georgetown, rivalling previous favourite. the Palm Court. Good music (Latin of course) and a friendly atmosphere. The best night I am told is Friday (I'v only been there Monday to Thursday).

Dress Code: Smart Casual
