The 5 Best Nature & Parks in Georgetown, Demerara-Mahaica
Although not a crowded Caribbean tourist spot, Georgetown is a unique city that serves as a perfect jumping point for ecotours into the South American interior. Its Victorian and Dutch Colonial architecture is detailed with louvered window shutters and brick and stone work. Built below the high tide level, the city is protected by a large seawall and drained by a grid of canals. Sundry goods can be found at the distinctive Stabroek Market, while the landmark Light House offers panoramic views.

This Bridge is usually used by the Romantic during Courting and sometimes Proposals. Unfortunately I wasn't on a Romantic visit but just couldn't help taking out a photo on this iconic site.

It's been close to 50 years since I last visited these gardens. I wanted to see the Seven Ponds area and the memorial to the Honorable LFS Burnham. The 'kissing' bridge, fountain, and grassy areas enticed me to return to sit peacefully on a future visit. I don't know if the manatees are still a part of these gardens. However, that would be a treat as they were my favorite.

We walked 1.5 km north from our Signature Inn to this park. After asking a few locals for directions, we proceeded around the soccer field to the northeast side passing several wetlands with flowers and birds to the large pond. At its south end, cut grass had been placed near the staved wall and several juvenile manatees were munching from below the water's surface. Their nostrils would open for air then quickly shutter and submerge. Farther on we discovered a large mother with a baby maneuvering along the surface in the manner of a hippo. This was nearest we have ever been to these slow moving mammals even spotting their broad tails.
