Home to animals you won’t find anywhere in our part of the world, Guyana is a paradise filled with spectacular sights of natural beauty

WITH SOUTH AMERICA becoming increasingly popular among holidaymakers and backpackers from across the globe, you may find it hard to believe that any of it remains undiscovered. But Guyana, a largely untouched country nestled in the northeastern corner of South America along the Atlantic coast, is still bucking the tourism trend, and is an exotic paradise begging to be explored. As a result of minimal urban development, Guyana’s slice of the Amazon rainforest has been kept intact, and the country is gaining recognition as an up-andcoming nature and adventure destination.
