Discover Guyana

Four unique regions, endless adventures

Regions of Guyana

Four distinct landscapes, endless adventures

The Coast

Where 90% of Guyanese call home

A narrow strip below sea level, protected by seawalls and canals built by the Dutch. Georgetown, the capital, showcases beautiful wooden colonial architecture, vibrant markets, and the famous Stabroek Clock Tower.

The Rainforest Interior

Pristine jungle covering 80% of Guyana

Home to Kaieteur Falls, the Iwokrama Forest, and some of Earth's most biodiverse ecosystems. Ancient tepuis (tabletop mountains) rise from the canopy, and rivers wind through untouched wilderness.

The Rupununi

Guyana's Wild West — endless golden savannahs

Vast grasslands dotted with termite mounds, cattle ranches, and indigenous villages. The North Rupununi is wetter with more wildlife; the South is drier with massive ranches dating back generations.

Hilly Sand & Clay

Mining country & gateway to the interior

The smallest region, known for bauxite and gold mining. Linden, Guyana's second city, sits here with its striking blue lakes — former mining pits now filled with turquoise water.
