Kaieteur Falls

At 825 feet, these falls are nearly five times as tall as North America's Niagara Falls.

Reviewed By 291genej - Silver Spring, United States

We returned to Guyana to visit this famous waterfall as the flights were full on our 2012 visit. Even though reserving this 2020 trip 4 months prior, it was not assured until getting an email just 4 days ago that it was officially scheduled and payment needed to be made immediately! Weather is a big factor for the 1 hour flight in a small plane, as it is to walk the 1 mile 3-viewpoint loop, let alone take nice photos. This is just one of the many places in the world where you can wait for 5 days and you still need to get lucky to make a successful trip. Much like Niagara, Victoria and Iguaçu Falls, this 800' waterfall is special in its own way; here our small group, guided by an Amerindian, was alone in the rain forest canopy which extended in all directions including the long canyon view below the falls. Very pristine place to visit.

St. George's Cathedral

This 43-meter high Gothic cathedral was built in 1842.

Reviewed By Seaside719218

This is a historical building, tallest wooden building in the Caribbean, well worth taking a tour inside the building, its free to enter except during service when you will be asked to wait until the service finishes

Demerara Harbour Bridge

The views of the Demerara River looking upstream and downstream are panoramic with Georgetown on the East Bank but alas the Vreed En Hoop/Georgetown ferry is long since gone.

Guyana Botanical Gardens

Reviewed By mbg1968 - Washington DC, United States

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.

I really enjoyed taking a break from the heat and checking out the museum . The giant sloth exhibit was very interesting but what I really enjoyed was the room with all the out maps.

Guyana National Park

Reviewed By 291genej - Silver Spring, United States

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.
