Guyana Tours

Guyana, located on South America’s northern coast, was colonised by the Dutch in the 17th century before becoming a British colony in the 19th century, gaining independence in 1966. This reflects in its capital, Georgetown’s diverse colonial infrastructure. 
The country is covered by dense tropical rainforests that are part of the Guiana Shield, one of the world’s oldest geological formations.
Its ecosystems are home to remarkable biodiversity, as well as stunning geography, with the landscape painted by vast rivers and waterfalls, such as the iconic Kaieteur Falls, one of the world’s tallest single-drop waterfalls. Its large, undisturbed tracts of rainforest that are critical for carbon storage and climate regulation.

Georgetown is the capital city of Guyana, the largest in the country, home to around 235,000 people. Nestled on the northern coast of the country, Georgetown is the primary transport hub of Guyana. The city is known for its stunning colonial architecture, such as St George’s Cathedral and St. Andrew’s Kirk, as well as its vibrant fruit and weaving markets, including the Stabroek and Bourda Markets.

The national language in Guyana is English, used in government, education and general media. However, the vast majority of the population speaks a version of Creole native to Guyana. Other frequently used languages in the country include Amerindian languages such as Macushi, Akawaio, and Wai-Wai.

Guyana is home to a wet, tropical climate, with frequent rainfall and warm temperatures. The climate is not usually described as being extreme, so isn’t “too” hot or cold. There are two rainy seasons – May to mid-August and November to January.
