Georgetown [B, L (Day 2 only)] Depart for Georgetown where you spend a night at Cara Lodge, a beautiful 150-year old building converted into one of Guyana's finest hotels. Most of the buildings in Georgetown are wooden with unique architecture dating back to the 18th and 19th century. Probably the most famous of these buildings is St. George’s Cathedral which is one of the world’s tallest free standing wooden buildings. On Day 2 you head off to Kaieteur and Orinduik Falls. Kaieteur Falls on the Potaro River support a unique micro environment with the world’s largest Tank Bromeliads providing home for the tiny Golden Frog. Guiana Cock-of-the-Rock nests close by and you may be lucky enough to see Kaieteur Swifts which nest beneath the vast shelf of rock carved by centuries of flowing water. Days 3 to 5. Iwokrama [B, L, D] This morning you depart for Iwokrama Field Station in the heart of the rainforest. Accommodation for two nights is in timber cabins with thatched roofs, on the banks of the Essequibo River each with private facilities. You spend your final night at Iwokrama deep into the forest at one of the field station’s satellite camps. Nearby, Turtle Mountain offers a challenging hike rewarded by spectacular views across the canopy and river to the distant mountains. Boat trips at night should Kaieteur Falls Karanambu Ranch S E E U S O N T H E W E B AT wildlifeworldwide.com offer good sightings of Spectacled Caiman, and by day visit Kurupukari Falls to see Amerindian petroglyphs.

Surama [B, L, D] After breakfast you transfer to the Iwokrama Canopy Walkway, a series of suspension bridges and decks high above the forest floor. Continue your journey onwards to the Amerindian village of Surama where you stay in comfortable guesthouse chalets. Here you may visit the local school, medical centre, church and some of the village houses. Dawn hikes, led by Surama guides across the savannah and up Surama Mountain conceal a multitude of birds and fantastic vistas, and evening walks reveal the mysteries of the forest after dark. The nearby Burro Burro river is a fantastic place to observe Giant River Otters, Tapir and Spider Monkeys. Days 8 & 9. Annai Landing [B, L, D] After breakfast you transfer to Rock View Lodge located where the savannah meets the forest-covered foothills of the Pakaraima Mountains.
