On the North eastern tip of South America, with the Atlantic washing on its shores lays a country so enchanting and exotic, that it's often associated with the Caribbean. Even the name Guyana comes from it's indigenous people which literally translates into "Land of many waters."

Dutch and British colonization made an indelible mark on Guyana, leaving behind a now dilapidated colonial capital, a volatile mix of peoples and a curious political geography. Take a walk down Georgetown to see the colonial impact on the buildings, most of these buildings are still standing. Including the famous St. George's Cathedral, one of the tallest free-standing wooden buildings in the world.

However the real beauty of this virtually unheard of paradise is it's majestic waterfalls and tropical rainforests. Bountiful wildlife and lots of unexplored regions. Legend has it that the Golden city of El Dorado is in Guyana.
