Guyana Travel Guidelines
Travel Advisory As with any other country, be cautious, especially while travelling at night in the city. Foreigners are often times very visible in public and should take precautions when visiting downtown areas. While the interior is one of the safest places in the world, travellers visiting Guyana’s capital city of Georgetown and other major urban areas must exercise caution due to crime. The general crime rate in Guyana is above the U.S. national average and below that of neighbouring countries like Brazil and Colombia. Whenever deciding to travel abroad, we all take responsibility for our safety. If you decide to travel to Guyana, please: Be extra vigilant when visiting banks or ATMs. Visitors are advised to change currency only at legitimate exchanges at hotels or airports and are discouraged from exchanging currency on the street. Be aware of your surroundings. It is important to be cautious, especially while travelling at night. Travel in groups and, in general, avoid walking at night and opt to book taxis from designated service providers Travelling in the interior is best done with the help of tour operators who can make all the necessary travel arrangements. Avoid travelling around with large amounts of cash, do not display signs of wealth, such as wearing expensive watches or jewellery, and do not physically resist any robbery attempt. Travellers are encouraged to make photocopies of IDs and passports. Always have a contingency plan for emergencies. Purchasing travel insurance is recommended. Consume filtered water, which is available throughout the country. You can also use purifying tablets. Cooked food is perfectly okay to eat. Raw food should be thoroughly washed. Review our Travel Tips for a smooth journey to Guyana. Keep a copy of your passport and visa, travel insurance, itinerary and important phone numbers handy for checking in at hotels and lodges or in the case of an emergency. Visa Details Travellers from about 125 countries, including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil and many other South American, Caribbean and European nations, do not require a visa to travel to Guyana. For those with citizenship from other countries, you can visit a nearby embassy or consulate to process your visa or work with your tour operator to process a visa on arrival. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issues business, tourist/visitor, student and courtesy visas. Learn more at Minfor.Gov.Gy Immunisations Check your immunisation status before travelling and seek advice on the best antimalarials based on the parts of Guyana you will visit. You should also stay current on tetanus, diphtheria and hepatitis A. Immunisations against hepatitis B may be needed for longer trips and rabies if you travel in remote areas and work with animals. Proof of yellow fever is required to enter Guyana if you travel from a yellow fever endemic area or continue onto Suriname. Health Matters A personal med kit is a good idea if you do not react very well to climates you are not accustomed to. Motion sickness medication, sunburn salve, antibiotics, antihistamine tablets and cream (for travellers’ diarrhoea), ibuprofen or another anti-inflammatory, aspirin, band-aids, and of course, good old Pepto-Bismol should be among any travellers’ go-to kit. Antibacterial soap, hydrogen peroxide, or rubbing alcohol should also be handy to clean out cuts and bruises. Bring appropriately packaged and labelled prescription medications, which may be hard to find locally. Same for your preferred over-the-counter brands. While you can access them in the city, and some of the lodges maintain a small supply, it is best to be safe and bring your own. Handling Money Guyana has a cash-based economy, and the Guyanese Dollar (G$, GY$, GYD) is the official currency. While an increasing number of establishments in Georgetown will take payments via credit card, you will need to have cash on hand, especially when you head into the rainforest and savannahs of the country. The banks in Georgetown allow limited daily withdrawals for international travellers (usually G$100,000 or US$475). ATMs in other towns are limited. It is best to pay local accommodations and tour operators in advance. This will allow you to limit the amount of cash you carry while visiting. US$1 = approximately G$210 €1 = approximately G$235 £1 = approximately G$266 Shopping The most classic holiday purchase from Guyana would be a woven souvenir by the Indigenous communities – baskets, plates, jewellery and such, but widen your horizon to include the traditional balata curios made from the latex of the bulletwood tree. Colourful cotton hammocks, local paintings, wooden curios and old Dutch bottles are the perfect takeaways to remind you of Guyana. Buy these at numerous shops in Georgetown, or better still, spend your money at the craft shops in different villages.
Lenthem
Lethem is a laid-back frontier town in southern Guyana, set on the vast Rupununi savannahs near the Brazilian border. It’s a gateway between Guyana and Brazil, known for wide open landscapes, cattle ranches, and a strong blend of Indigenous, Guyanese, and Brazilian cultures. Travelers come to Lethem for its raw, off-the-beaten-path feel. The surrounding Rupununi region offers dramatic scenery—rolling grasslands, rivers, wetlands, and distant mountains—along with excellent opportunities for wildlife spotting, birdwatching, and nature photography. You’ll see giant anteaters, capybaras, caimans, and hundreds of bird species. The town itself is small and unhurried, with local markets, Brazilian-influenced food, and a friendly, rural atmosphere. Lethem is also a jumping-off point for eco-lodges, Indigenous village visits, fishing trips, and savannah adventures deeper into the Rupununi. Good to know for travelers: Best visited in the dry season (roughly September–April) for easier road travel Access by domestic flight from Georgetown or overland via Brazil Expect basic but welcoming accommodation—this is about nature, not luxury Cash is important; services are limited compared to coastal Guyana If you’re looking for authentic culture, wide-open wilderness, and adventure far from crowds, Lethem is one of Guyana’s most distinctive destinations. Things to Do There are many tourists attractions in Lethem area such as the Kanuku and the Moco Moco mountains and falls. English colonial-style houses all over the town. Mount Roraima (in the horizon). Mount Roraima is at a height of 2810 m the tallest mountain in Guyana and marks the tri-border between Guyana, Brazil and Venezuela. It can reportedly be seen from Lethem, despite being over 200 km away as the crow flies. OSM directions edit St. Ignatius. Walk across the wooden bridge in Lethem to visit the community of St. Ignatius. There are no businesses other than a cashew factory cooperative run by local women. You will, however, witness the daily lives of the Amerindian population. Plan Your Visit Getting Here 1. By car The dirt road from Georgetown through Linden to Lethem is being kept up despite the frequent need for repairs to bridges and hill slides; it's the only road link between the Brazilian state of Roraima and the sea coast. In particular during the rainy season the driving conditions are poor. The Brazilian road coming from Boa Vista (125 km) to the south, is paved and in a much better shape. In 2008 the bridge from the Brazilian side of the river was completed, replacing the ferry. 2. By bus From Georgetown, overnight minibuses depart every evening around 18:00 and they arrive in Lethem the next day around noon. Minibuses operate around the year, also in the rainy season — service with the full-size buses who could take up to 36 hours in the rainy period has been discontinued. From Linden onwards the road is a dirt road with a lot of potholes so don't expect to sleep well. Tickets are around GYD 9000-10000. If you're coming from the south, there's at least a daily bus from the state capital Boa Vista to Bonfim, tickets are R$ 13 for the bus or R$ 35 for a minibus. From Bonfim, take a taxi or walk across the border. 3. By plane Plane on the airstrip Trans Guyana Airways has two daily flights between Georgetown and Lethem (no flights on Sundays). These flights leave from the small Georgetown-Ogle municipal airport closer to downtown (not the international airport) and are a comparatively comfortable way of getting Lethem from the capital. Luggage space is very limited so be sure to have the amount of allowable luggage clarified before arrival at the airport. Although this is a domestic flight, a passport is required for non-citizens. One-way tickets are GYD 30,000, round trip GYD 55,000 (may be out of date). From some major Brazilian cities, you simply can fly into Boa Vista and travel the last leg by bus.
Kaieteur National Park
Created in 1929, Kaieteur is the first national park in the Amazon region. It sits on the Guiana Shield, an ancient rock formation over 2 billion years old. This isolated landscape is full of species found nowhere else on earth, including a tiny Golden Frog (Anomaloglossus beebei) and a recently discovered bright blue tarantula unknown to science. The Park is known mostly for the spectacular Kaieteur Falls with its single drop of 226 metres (741 ft), which is over four times higher than Niagara Falls. Its unusual combination of height and volume makes it the most powerful single drop waterfall on the planet. Home to the Patamona people, Kaieteur continues to play a big role in local livelihoods, culture, and traditions.

These activities are usually timed for early in the morning and again in the late afternoon into evening; in addition to being the coolest parts of the day these are also the best times for viewing wildlife. Trips may be on the river by boat, on the savannah by vehicle or along a range of forest trails on foot. Sip Rum Punch With A Queen Karanambu boasts the world’s best wild collection of Victoria amazonica – with lily pads in some ponds up to 6ft across and blossoms almost 2ft width. It’s a special treat sitting as these queens of the floral kingdom delicately unfurl at sunset while sipping Karanambu’s famous Rum Punch. Take A Walk With A Giant Anteater At up to 6ft in length these gentle giants are among the nocturnal denizens of the savannahs around Karanambu and are often found foraging in the early morning hours. Spot A Giant Otter Known for being noisy and not too shy, family groups of giant otters can (if you are lucky) be observed among the ponds and along the Rupununi River in the Karanambu Area. Walking Trails And Quiet Spots Whether you prefer a gentle stroll or a rigorous 3 hour hike is more your speed Karanambu has a trail for you. Birdwatching Incase you missed it, Karanambu is home to over 400 species of birds and more are added each year. Plan Your Visit Karanambu Packages Though stays of any duration are accommodated, we suggest stays of at least 2-3 nights to get a true taste of the variety of experiences that Karanambu has to offer. It also increases the likelihood of seeing key species such as the Giant otters and Giant Anteater. Accommodation Karanambu offers an all-inclusive package which includes: accommodation, meals served with our world famous rum-punch and fresh juices & 2 guided famously excursions and an optional walking trail daily. Guest may choose from single or shared accommodation options. Getting Here A. Overland Karanambu is some 600 miles overland from the capital city of Georgetown; a journey which can take between 12-15 hrs. Sadly most visitors to Karanambu do not have the luxury of time and opt for travel in small planes as a more efficient way to get to the Rupununi. B. Flying A flight from the airport at ogle will get you to the regional centre in Lethem in 1 to 1 1/2 hrs.,from here it is a 2-3 hrs. by 4×4 vehicle to Karanambu (depending on season). Alternatively flights can also be charterer direct to one of the 2 Karanambu runways. This takes about 1 ½ hrs., with the advantage of arriving in time for breakfast or tying in a trip to Kaieture Falls. C. River When travelling from another site in the region, expect a combination of dirt roads and a river trip. The most popular route from locations further north is via Genip Landing – from which it is a 2 hr-3 hr journey along the Rupununi River (depending on the season). On this route be sure to have sunscreen, a hat and drink lots of water while you enjoy some of the most spectacular views of herons, king fishers and massive black caiman along the way. What to Pack Along with your regular list of items such as Face Mask, Water Bottle, Waterproof baggage, Sunscreen, Binoculars, Comfy Boots, Day Pack, Insect Repellent, Camera and a good hat… Water bottle Karanambu uses reusable bottles and has watering stations around the compound to refill. But if you will be more comfortable we encourage you to walk with your own bottle. Waterproof baggage Though we do take precautions weather has become an unpredictable thing and rain can put a damper on an otherwise great visit so as a precaution we recommend you use water resistant baggage. Bathing suit Though it maybe unexpected for a jungle adventure, Karanambu offers swimming at a number of sites on the river and in savannah so just incase we are able to tempt you to go swimming with fishes, have a comfy suit handy.

Iwokrama International Centre for Rainforest Conservation and Development
The Iwokrama International Centre (IIC) was established in 1996 under a joint mandate from the Government of Guyana and the Commonwealth Secretariat to manage the Iwokrama forest, a unique reserve of 371,000 hectares of rainforest, “in a manner that will lead to lasting ecological, economic and social benefits to the people of Guyana and to the world in general”. The IIC is an international not-for-profit organisation, governed by an International Board of Trustees and managed by a professional team of around seventy permanent staff in Georgetown and at the Iwokrama River Lodge and Research Centre at Kurupukari. The IIC’s Patron is HRH King Charles III.
