In Guyana, you\u2019ll be traveling extremely off the beaten path<\/h2>\n
\n

For centuries, Rupununi<\/strong>‘s extraordinary natural area has intrigued travelers, historians and scientists who have even searched there through the ages for the mythical El Dorado from the Conquista era.
\nBlessed with breathtaking landscapes and an astounding wildlife, the region of Rupununi covers an area of more than 15 000 square kilometers (5,800 square miles) to the southeast of Guyana, on the Brazilian border.<\/p>\n

Discover one of the last areas of the world still preserved from human activity. In South America, close to Brazil and Venezuela, the Amazonian forest of Guyana will bring you in contact with a pristine nature. This trip will take you to the Indian lands of Rupununi where Amazonian savannahs, rivers, mountains and dense vegetation await you. You will plunge into a region that shines by the richness of its biodiversity and the beauty of its fauna and flora.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Description: Guyana\u2019s wildlife will thrill You<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n

A 10-day adventure during which we will cross the Guyana savanna to reach the village of Sand Creek. We will navigate along the Rupununi from this Amerindian village. We will view the splendor of the region\u2019s flora and fauna from our boat, before disembarking to enter into the jungle of the Kanuku mountains.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This trip starts from Boa Vista, the capital of Roraima in Brazil. It is also possible to start our adventure directly from Lethem for people arriving from Georgetown.<\/em><\/p>\n

An experience in the heart of the forest, far off the beaten track which will allow you to:<\/p>\n

<\/span>Discover the Amazon from our boat
\n<\/span>Go hiking through the forest
\n<\/span>Spot the flora and fauna with our main guide and a local guide

\n <\/span>Enjoy making unforgettable memories.<\/p>\n

The region stretches between the Essequibo river to the south, through the Iwokrama forest via the hills of the jungle and the savanna by Lethem. Rupununi is the land of the Makushi, Waiwai and Wapishana ethnic groups, Amerindian guardians of these wild expanses.
\nThis region, with its ecosystem that is as rich as it is unique, is the habitat of more than one thousand different species of birds, dozens of species of reptiles (the black caiman, giant anaconda, red-footed tortoise, boa constrictor, rattlesnake), a significant mammal population (the giant otter, howling monkey, spider monkey, giant anteater, jaguar, puma and black panther) as well as 180 species of fish (25 of which are endemic and 18 of which are considered as rare) bearing in mind that new species are still being discovered each year.
\nThere is a wealth of diversity in the breathtaking landscapes, between savanna, wetlands and dense forest that is almost impenetrable.<\/p>\n

A unique journey to discover incredible landscapes where you will appreciate all the biodiversity of the Amazonian rainforest.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Organization<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n

Where will you sleep and what will you eat?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We will set up camp every night in the middle of the forest, often by the banks of the river, where we will set up our hammocks according to the Amazon tradition.
\nEach one of our expeditions is unique. As we move deeper into the forest, with our guides, we will select a new spot to set up camp each day. Our camps will be built when we arrive at each spot, with our local guide. Our camping sites are selected for their beauty, their location, or sometimes because they are the only possible place. Comfort is simple and rudimentary but it always makes for an exceptional experience and atmosphere.<\/p>\n

We will eat the provisions that we have brought along with us. Fruits, vegetables and starch will provide our basic diet, which will be complemented by some fresh local produce from our encounters with the local people. <\/p>\n

Participant profile<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am fit and healthy. I practice a sporting activity occasionally and I am able to push myself but I need some rest in between my efforts.
\nI am looking for an experience that takes me off the beaten track and the idea of camping out in the middle of the forest appeals to me<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
