In less than a week, I strolled along the Atlantic Ocean, dined on roti and curry, spotted parrots and anteaters in the wild, watched a 10-foot water lily bloom, napped in a hammock, swam under a waterfall and visited a handful of indigenous villages.
Guyana is one of the most culturally and ecologically diverse countries in the world. Virgin rainforest and savannah cover over 80% of this petite South American country bordered by Brazil and Suriname, providing home to hundreds of species of birds, jaguars, anteaters, river otters and other wildlife. If you have a nature-loving client who is looking for an off-the-beaten destination, Guyana should be on your radar.
