 Kwitaro River by bianchis
The Kwitaro is remote from civilization. Its 120 mile course has but a single family living on it and is unmarked by road. Access overland by Land Rover to Shea Village and by jungle footpath to the east for 30 miles to Brian's Landing. These are their tribal lands for the Wapashani amerindians . It is exceptionally rich in natural wonders . Leave a Comment

 Iwokrama Canopy Walkway by DSwede
There are a few other trails to choose from in the area, but offer views only from the jungle floor.
This tip should be used in conjunction with my other off-the-beaten-path tip for the Atta Rainforest Camp.
This lodge is on the south end of the Iwokrama park. It is ~8 hours by overland from Georgetown, or about 1.5 hours north of Annai and the Rockview Lodge airstrip.

Please note that this tip should be used in conjunction with my other off-the-beaten-path tip for the Iwokrama Canopy walkway.
Atta Lodge / Rainforest Camp @ Iwokrama Canopy Walk:
Located a few kilometers north of the Iwokrama Reserve's south gate.
Accommodations are hammocks with mosquito nets. Showers and lounge areas are quite nice and comfortable. It is built as a leisure stay for more affluent, comfort seeking travelers and particularly anyone who is a bird watcher. If you book on-line or through an agency, rates are ~$100 US, but includes accommodation, all meals, and guides for the nature and canopy walks. They will assist with transportation transfers from Rock View Lodge (airstrip), or Iwokrama Field Station (north gate).
If you just "arrive" like I did with no booking, and can fit the appearance of a true budget traveler, be polite and speak to the staff discretely as they may be willing to give you a discount. We settled on $30 US for myself for the whole package.
To get here, either book a pre-arranged ride through an agency. Or, if coming from the Georgetown, Intraserv and minibuses will drop you off about 8am. If coming from Lethem/Annai, you will be dropped off about 5am.
You need to have arranged rides for your departing onward journey, so recommend booking those in advance!

It is here that many endangered species survive - Black caiman, Arapaima fish, Harpy eagle, Giant river otter. Visits to more remote Amerindian villages, rock paintings, and the Kanuku Mountain range know for it multitude of wildlife, begin from these ranches.

Much of the service is personalised, tours and adventures from the ranches being run by the owners themselves. Here, the chance to meet the intrepid pioneers of adventure in Guyana is an experience to be remembered. Trips from the ranches either by open back 4x4 vehicle, motor powered canoes, horse-back riding or trekking are exciting and stimulating.

The Rupununi ranches are namely Karanambu Ranch, Dadanawa Ranch and Rock View Lodge. Attached photo shows a baby on a Victoria Amazionica Regia Lily at the Karanambu Ranch. Leave a Comment

 Anyone got a bucket? by K1W1
Kurupung is very basic and everything is a lot more expensive as it has to be brought in by boat. Go prepared.
Also worth a visit is Bartica, an island just south of the capital.
After spending our first night in the bush, we realised it wasn't a good idea to leave the canoe on the water during the night! Leave a Comment

The Sea Wall on a Sunday Night in Georgetown. As the sun sets locals head here for a beer and to people watch. There is a carnival like atmosphere with rides for kids and hot dogs. It's a shame people leave behind so much garbage after they are done hanging out. Leave a Comment

When flying to the South of Guyana, I was impressed by the landscape of mountains, plateau, etc. Incredible landscape that makes me wonder how come nobody heard of it. Leave a Comment
