Guyana Essentials

Guyana’s landscape is defined by the massive Kaieteur Falls, the world’s largest single-drop waterfall, and the biodiversity of the Rupununi Savannah and Iwokrama rainforest. In Georgetown, colonial-era architecture stands out through the Victorian-era Stabroek Market and St. George’s Cathedral, one of the tallest wooden structures globally. Cultural heritage is preserved at the Wai-Wai-style Umana Yana and the National Museum, while the coast offers the historic Demerara Harbour Bridge and the critical turtle nesting grounds of Shell Beach.

Natural Wonders

Guyana’s interior is defined by dramatic geological formations and massive water systems. This collection features Kaieteur Falls, the world’s most powerful single-drop waterfall, alongside the 260-meter King Edward VIII Falls on the Semang River. The landscape rises into ancient sandstone tepuis like Mount Ayanganna in the Pakaraima range and the cross-border peaks of Monte Caburaí and Mount Venamo. From the biodiversity of the Kanuku Mountains to the remote Acarai range on the Brazilian border, these sites represent the core of the Guiana Shield’s pristine wilderness.
