    There are many possibilities for trekking in the rain forests of Guyana, varying from flat and easy to mountain climbing. I would recommend taking a local guide with you at all times, as most trails aren't marked!

    Do not litter your surroundings, take only photographs, leavy only footprints.

    Also make sure that you have adequate water with you as you will sweat! I know, I know, horses sweat, men perspire and women merely glow. With a temperature of 35° and a humidity of 85%, even the daintiest of women sweat! Trust me!

    Boots are a must too, and a trekking pole recommended.

    A series of five suspended rope bridges at a height of 30m connect five platforms built in the trees.

    The bridges are very safe, albeit a little wobbly as you walk on them. They are quite narrow, and as you place your feet on each side of the bridge, it bends from side to side, which I found a little off putting. The slower you walk, the more apparent this swaying became.

    Hand rails guide you along, but I did find some of them were a little low for me, making me feel a little unsafe.

    For me, the worst parts were the joints in the metal grids.

    From these bridges you get a great view of the forest below, that is, if you can look away from the bridge! We did not see any wild animals or birds on our walks across the canopy walkways, not that I expected to, having experienced these elsewhere in the world!

    For safety reasons, only one person is allowed on any one bridge at any one time.

    At Orinduik Falls, you can swim in the rock pools or bathe underneath the falls for a natural massage from the jets of the water. A great experience!

  • Because of mud and dirt from the river to the Ocean, the ocean water is 'brownish' with little visibility. Even beaches are inexistant.
