Overview
Guyana is located on the northeastern shoulder of the Continent of South America and is bounded by Suriname in the East, Venezuela in the West, Brazil on the South and South West and the Atlantic Ocean in the North-Northeast. Guyana currently has one on the largest tracks of undisturbed rainforest, accounting for more than 83 % of total land mass , due largely to its inaccessibility and centuries old civilizations of our Amerindian peoples, whom as custodians have lived on the land, relying on the rainforest and its’ rivers for food, medicine, shelter, weapons, and spiritual guidance.
Minimum: 4 Persons
THE PLACE:
Essequibo, Guyana’s largest and one of South America's longest River, is perhaps the most unfrequented of its kind. This remote and pristine corner of the eastern Amazon basin is home to a myriad of fresh water fish species, no lesser than the Arapaima.
THE LODGE:
Guests will sleep in our Piraiba (Lau Lau) Lodge, which has six self‐contained twin rooms, and four additional rooms with shared bath, 24 hrs electricity (Solar) equipped with the necessary amenities, inclusive of Wi‐Fi. The Lodge is situated on the eastern bank of the Essequibo River, opposite the Iwokraman Rainforest Reserve surrounded by pristine jungle full of wildlife. Additionally, Coleman Weather Proof Tents‐ 11 ft *17 ft, and Sleeping Cots, set on the banks of this delightful river, under the tree canopy, are available for the Hard‐Core Anglers who may want to fish off the river bank during the night. There is also a separate toilet and bath facility, located outside of the Lodge. For extended trips, we move Camp to other parts of the river in search better fishing grounds. This can be negotiated prior to the trip. A satellite phone is available at all times for use at a nominal cost.
