Bountiful rain forests, spectacular waterfalls, big rivers, ample wildlife and traditional Amerindian villages is what Guyana is all about. It’s an ideal destination for ecotourists who don't insist on the luxuries and comforts of travel. There is a plethora of activities to choose from for the adventure lovers, right from camping treks to famous Kaieteur and Orinduik falls, horse riding and hiking in the Rupununi, fishing and jungle treks, river trips and white water rafting on the Essequibo, Kamuni and Mazaruni rivers, swimming at Bartica, to bird watching at Lethem. Guyana is known for wooden furniture, especially items made from purple and green heartwood, as well as wamara, a highly prized brown ebony.
