Guyana lies just above the Equator on the northeast corner of the South American continent. This nation, whose name means Land of Many Waters, is bordered by Suriname, Brazil, Venezuela, and the Atlantic Ocean. It is the third smallest country in South America.
Guyana’s area is 83,000 square miles and it has a diverse population of 765,200.

Guyana’s most mystic feature is its water. As its name suggests, the waters are an important part of Guyana’s tourism. From the blue waters of the Caribbean, visitors will notice the waters turning brown as they approach the Guyanan coastline. These brown waters get darker the further inland you go, eventually turning black. Guyana’s black waters are serene and enchanting; they are most stunning at some of the cascades and waterfalls on the island. Orinduik, one of the most popular falls, is easily accessible and is a natural jacuzzi for brave travelers.

Along with the common vacation pleasures such as beaches, historical sites, and exciting cities, Guyana offers travelers a more natural approach to vacation. One of the most popular nature resorts in Guyana is the Timberhead Eco-Resort. Even though the resort is not far from the major city of Georgetown, the natural element is not compromised; the resort can be accessed by way of a relaxing boat ride along the Kamuni Creek. Nature Trails are prevalent at the resort; after you enjoy the splendor of the trails, you can spend the night in one of the three jungle lodges on the resort property.

To be pampered and astounded by nature, visit the striking land of Guyana.
