In the heart of Guyana lies one of the most most biodiverse and sparsely populated areas on earth.

A coalition of hospitality providers in the Rupununi region of central Guyana are teaming up to make it easier for travellers to discover our land and our way of life. Spanning south from the Essequibo River at Kurupukari through the Iwokrama rain forest and across an expanse of hills and savannas to the Brazilian border near Lethem, the Rupununi is home to english-speaking tribes of Makushi, Waiw
ai, and Waipashana Amerindians. It is a region bursting with nearly a thousand species of birds, wild cats, reptiles and insects, rare flowers and trees… not to mention the cleanest air you’ll ever breathe. Only a handful of curious and adventurous travelers make their way into the Rupununi each year. The nine lodges found here are small, family- or community-run enterprises without marketing or advertising budgets to introduce themselves to the world at large. So, we’ve teamed up together to collectively promote the unique offerings of each property and to showcase some of the most remarkable features of this unspoiled corner of the Amazon basin. Travel in this part of the world is rewarding, but rarely is it simple. Limited infrastructure, unreliable transport and power, and wide open spaces with few people make it inadvisable for visitors to just “show up.” Use our contact form to sketch out a preliminary travel plan and timeline: our website will connect you to on-site staff who can assist with lodging, guiding, and transportation bookings.

I'm looking forward to getting back in the air and doing some more flying over Guyana! Presently in Georgetown, the capital which lies below sea level and defended from the ocean by a Dutch-built sea wall. It's tropical, very tropical here right now and I'm guessing even hotter than Hades. This...

Catching a jaguar on a remote camera trap in the Amazon is a rare, happy sight. But catching a jaguar attempting to ambush a herd of peccaries is quite simply astonishing.

Pale-throated Three-toed Sloth (Bradypus tridactylus) perched in a cecropia tree near the Iwokrama International Centre for Rainforest Conservation and Development Field Station during an Operation Wallacea expedition... This species spends nearly its entire life in the trees, sleeping 18 hours/day, feeding exclusively on leaves and coming to the ground only to defecate... Although sloth's are notoriously slow moving, an extremely flexible spine and binocular vision allows them to spot potential predators and mutualistic green algae growing between its guard hairs allow them blend in to the canopy... This individual briefly came into an opening while slowly working its way towards some tasty leaves and took a second to smile for the camera...
