British Guyana Travel Guide
Guyana, or British Guyana, was the first of the three Guyana's to be independent. Before May 1966 it was the only British colony on the South American mainland.
Guyana borders on Suriname, French Guiana and Brazil.
Georgetown the capital is the largest city. New Amsterdam is an Old Dutch town. The Dutch and the English had eternal wars in the Guyana's and the borders changed a lot. A long sea wall protects the city from flooding; locals pass their time there swimming, sunbathing and strolling arm-in-arm.
New Amsterdam is the picturesque town on the eastbank of the Berenice River. Lots of old colonial buildings dating back to the time the Dutch were still in charge here. New Amsterdam can be reached easily by minibus and ferry from Georgetown.
Kaieteur Falls in the south of the country is a spectacular attraction. The falls are 5 times higher than Niagara and located in the middle of an un-spoilt rainforest. A hike in the tropical rainforest will be an unforgettable experience. Its isolated location means wildlife thrives in the area, but it also requires determination to reach. Small planes fly to the falls from Georgetown but seats can be difficult to secure.
