The Night Sky: Star-Gazing

by Aafia

One of the advantages of traveling in a remote area is being able to view a beautiful starry night without the disadvantages of light pollution. Most of our camping spots allowed us a 360° horizon so we could view stars from every angle. We were all familiar with our northern skies and some of us had the opportunity to observe the southern skies, but skies that are close to the equator are a blend of the two. Orion, the Hunter, considered the finest constellation in the sky, was a snap to find. Canis Major, one of Orion's dogs, was easy to find as well, thanks to Sirius, the brightest star in the sky and part of the constellation.We were lucky to have an amateur astronomer among us willing to share his knowledge. Well, I thought we were lucky until he woke us up at 1 in the morning to observe the Southern Cross! Now that's getting a little carried away. Whatever makes you comfortable.

Gerry's: a different kind of night out

by c_daisymae

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 rain forest: Spend the night in a hammock

by grets

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! 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.

Any rainforest trail: Nocturnal walks

by grets

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. 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.

Any river: Nocturnal boat trips

by grets

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

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