Guyana -An Amerindian word meaning Land
of Many Waters is often times described as the Caribbean gate to South
America due to its unique positioning. It lies on the North Atlantic Coast
of South America, bordered by Venezuela, Surinam and Brazil. It is where
the virgin rainforest leads to the Amazon Basin, where the jungle is still
unexplored, rivers uncharted and mountains unclimbed. With over 300
waterfalls, including one of the World's longest Single drop falls, the
stunning Kaieteur at over 700 feet, over 800 species of birds and a wide and
unique array of fragrant flora and magnificent fauna, it is an incredibly
wonderful land of unspoilt beauty.
