Cities to discover today

Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo · Lethem and the Rupununi

Lethem

Lethem is the town on Guyana’s southern border, on the bank of the Tacutu River, connected by a bridge to Bonfim in Roraima. It is small, flat and surrounded by the Rupununi savannah, with the Kanuku mountains on the horizon. The trade attracts Brazilians, and Portuguese is heard in the shops. From here depart excursions to the village of St. Ignatius, the Moco-Moco and Kumu waterfalls, the foot of the Kanuku and, further north, to the guesthouses in Karanambu, Annai and Surama. On the Easter weekend the town hosts the rodeo.

Demerara-Mahaica · Georgetown

Georgetown

Georgetown is the capital of Guyana, at the mouth of the Demerara River, protected from the Atlantic by the Sea Wall. It has avenues with medians that were once canals, colonial wooden houses on stilts, the Catedral de São Jorge, Stabroek Market with its clock tower and the Jardim Botânico with manatees. English and Guyanese Creole are spoken, and the cuisine mixes Indian, African, Chinese and indigenous influences.
