If you have heard of Guyana before, likely it’s because of the rice and diverse wildlife you can find here. Unlike some other countries that comprise the Amazon basin, the Guyana jungle is still largely untouched by oil interests. Maybe a coincidence, but it is also the case that the biggest animals in the Amazon are also to be found in this place with a minimal amount of human influence. If you want to get truly off the beaten path and really experience something wild, wonderful, and very nearly private - than this is the place for you!
Looking back down the canyon we came from (Liz Boeheim)
The Guyana jungle feels nearly pristine - which for many is the primary attraction of of coming here - meaning you will have the chance to encounter hundreds of species and with very little competition from other travelers. However, with that remoteness, comes with it... well... remoteness.
Traveling through the interior of Guyana will provide you with unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities and the feeling of true seclusion. Along with that, it is important to note, is the difficult access of mainstream services. All of the lodges in the interior will be solar-powered. You will have running water - and occasionally a fabulous open-air shower! - but with cold water exclusively.
A refreshing open-air shower and bathroom facilities (Liz Boeheim)
Most of the accommodations are palapa-style, with thatch roofs (happy homes for all manner of creatures) and windows without screens. You will have mosquito nets, and most accommodations also provide bug spray, but you will not find spa services here. This is not to say that the people you meet, the food you eat, the days you spend wont be 5-star experiences - but it does mean that you will have to anticipate some level of rusticity to achieve that truly off-the-beaten-path trip.

Franny has been such an amazing help with all my trip planning. This is our 3rd trip to plan with her and she is always so willing to assist and find the best deals for my family and friends.

Our advisor at Adventure Life, Mary Curry, was knowledgable and quick to respond with answers to any questions we had. She made our booking efficiently and set up a time for us to make a secure payment through her directly. We’ve used Adventure Life repeatedly and would definitely recommend it.

I selected Adventure Travel as I was not satisfied with the responsiveness of the agent for the cruise I was trying to book and it had good recommendations. So far, I am quite happy with my agent, Betty, very responsive and accommodating.
