The Rupununi savannah (Region 9) is inhabited by the native Amerindian who settled their villages here.The landscape is mindblowing and the feel of the Rupununi savanna is one of a kind.

For those who just want to hang around Georgetown - Guyana's El dorado Rum tour. Voted among the best Rum in the World and a winner of several medals, the El Dorado Rum is a line of production by the Demerara Distillery.

Umana Yana, The Guyana seawall, The Demerara Harbor Bridge, St. George's Cathedral, etc, etc.

The Stabroek Market is a marketplace famous for commercial and social activities. The steel structure has a very unique and can be considered as the largest market place in the Caribbean.

A little something for everyone. Book your times with me or get left behind...
