Guyana
Travel Guide. 1st Edition. Bradt
Publications. 256 pages.

South America’s often overlooked English-speaking country lies far off
the well-trodden tourist path. Guyana is the ideal destination for the
discerning visitor seeking adventure. Within its vast interior, the
Guiana Shield (one of the four pristine tropical rainforests left in the
world) converges with the Amazon Basin, creating a unique geography
composed of coastal waters, mangroves, marshes, savannas, mountains and
tropical rainforests.
Bordered by Venezuela, Brazil, Suriname and the Atlantic Ocean, the
lively locals – a melting pot of East Indian and African descendants,
peppered with Chinese, Europeans and Amerindians – create a culture
decidedly more Caribbean than Latin.
• The only guide in English dedicated solely to Guyana.
• Numerous activities such as jungle survival courses, river trips to
isolated Amerindian villages, birding tours and piranha fishing.
• Where to see wildlife, from the million-acre Iwokrama Centre for
Rainforest Conservation and Development to the lesser-known Kanuku
Mountains, one of the last remaining pristine Amazonian habitats.
