Complete Three Guyanas Tour

Day 1.
Arrive at Felix Eboue Airport at 1140hrs, private transfer to your selected hotel.

We will do a private city tour of Cayenne, which is the administrative and commercial center of French Guiana. It is a typical creole town with about 50,000 inhabitants. The Fort Cépérou, the Place Léopold Heder, the hotel of the Jésuites, the Place de Grenoble, the Place des Palmistes, the colonial hospital, the Franconie Museum, the town hall and the market are the gems of Cayenne and a visit to the zoo.

The Royal Amazonia Hotel & Resort is located 5 minutes from the centre of Cayenne and combines design, nature, city, novelty and experience. With its subtle blend of modern decoration and a refined atmosphere with oriental accents, The Royal Amazonia Hotel & Resort has 134 rooms including 116 spacious rooms and 18 suites, 2 Restaurants, a Spa and Beauty Centre.

Overnight at Royal Amazonia Hotel and Resort in a standard room. (Check in time 1400hrs, Check out time 12midday)

Day 2.
What is commonly referred to as "Devil's Island" is really a triangle of three islands - Îles du Salut, or the Salvation Islands - seven miles off the coast of Kourou. After a breakfast buffet at the hotel, we set sail aboard a motorized catamaran towards our first stop, Île Royale. The islands played a central role in French history as far back as 1792 when they were first employed as a transit point, first for explorers, then slaves and later for convicts and political prisoners. They became famous or rather notorious after the book, 'Papillion' was published fifty years ago.

Île Royale is the site of the oldest buildings on the islands, featuring an old church, administration buildings, officers' quarters, and today, a good restaurant and lodging facilities. Ironically, the actual Île du Diable (Devil's Island) is inaccessible to visitors due to dangerous shoreline conditions. You can get a great view of Devil's Island from the restaurant on Île Royale. You will not see any cliffs where Papillion claimed he launched his coconut raft on "The seventh wave". This is the island where the prison's best-known occupant, Alfred Dreyfus, was famously secluded. It is also the island where Papillion said he was incarcerated but there are no records of him being there. Devil's Island was really only used for political prisoners.

Île Royale is the largest of the three islands and housed the largest collection of buildings as the commandant and officers were mostly stationed here. It was also the island where the guillotine was used on about fifty occasions. The prison buildings here are quite well preserved, and you can meander at will through the cell blocks, dormitory buildings, and other structures while taking photographs or simply soaking in the powerful ambience. The officers' bungalows are at the top in the middle of the island and there are also the many different kinds of cells from the lightly guarded to the solitary confinement ones where the convicts were not even allowed to see the light of day. Overnight in a standard room at Hotel Atlantis. BL

Day 3.
Breakfast at the hotel
Private transfer to the Center Spatiale Guyanaise (Guyana Space Center) for a tour. Launch schedules are a closely-held secret so our schedule today may be amended on short notice. The usual tour includes a motorcoach tour which crisscrosses the centre's mammoth facility, including stops at various assembly buildings, launch pads and control centres. The entire tour is offered in French, but your guide will supply translations as often as possible.

Private departure from Kourou to St. Laurent, making a brief stop to visit the church of St Joseph in Iracoubo. The entire inside of the church was hand-painted by a convict from a nearby penal settlement and well worth the stop.

Lunch at a local restaurant in St Laurent, Le Goelette.

Mini tour of Saint Laurent Du Maroni where we will make a brief visit to the well-preserved Camp de la Transportation. The facility once served as the transit point for slaves and indentured servants imported from overseas and later for political prisoners and convicts. Papillion's initials are carved in the floor of one of the cells which he claimed was proof that he was incarcerated here.

Continue transfer to transfer from St. Laurent for boat crossing to Albina in Suriname and onwards to Paramaribo and your selected hotel.

Royal Torarica is the most luxurious and prestigious hotel in Suriname. In addition to all the features desired by high-end business travellers, it is also perfect for holidaymakers with a longing for abundant luxury. This hotel, which features unique glass elevators and high ceilings, will provide you with personal service, originality, modern 'state of the art' meeting rooms, high speed Internet and a beautiful saltwater swimming pool.

Overnight at Royal Torarica in a Deluxe Terrace room. BL (Check in time 1700hrs, Check out time 1300hrs)

Day 4.
Breakfast at hotel.

Paramaribo, the capital city of Suriname, has been placed on the UNESCO "World Heritage" list of historical monuments since 2002. You receive a guided tour, along the most prominent historic locations in downtown Paramaribo during which you will be impressed by the unique architecture. The guide gives you extensive information about the former "Fort Zeelandia", the Presidential Palace, the Independence Square and many other monuments. The monumental buildings are a true representation of the colonial history of Suriname. After a stroll pass the Waterkant, along the bank of the Suriname River and through the Palms Garden, you will also enjoy other interesting sites such as a mosque right next to a synagogue.

We proceed to the Commewijne district which is situated to the east of Paramaribo across the Suriname River. The tour takes us along the former colonial plantations, most of which are now abandoned. We make a stop at plantation Peperpot where the old coffee and cocoa factory, deputy-director's house and the old office are located. This former plantation is one of the oldest plantations in Surinamese history. Peperpot was established by the English and already existed before Suriname was conquered by the natives from Zeeland under command of Abraham Crijnssen in 1667. This is one of the last plantations still in its former original state. On the plantation you can still see coffee and cocoa plants as well as an ancient shed and factory, the manager's residence and a kampong (workers' living area). Peperpot is renowned for the many birds which can be spotted.

From Peperpot, we make a stop at the mini-museum of Marienburg, a former sugar plantation before enjoying a delicious lunch. We then continue to the confluence of the Commewijne and Suriname Rivers at Nieuw Amsterdam. Here we will visit the outdoor museum Fort Nieuw Amsterdam. The large fortress was built as a defence for the crop fields that were situated along the upper parts of both rivers.

We continue our tour to the pier for the Sunset Dolphin tour. While having a drink we enjoy the cool breeze and river views. Meanwhile the captain searches the horizon for the dolphins. Normally we see them swim by in groups of up to 20 dolphins. After the sun has set, we will transfer you by car or bus to Paramaribo and back to the hotel. Overnight at Royal Torarica in a Deluxe Terrace room. BL

Day 5.
This morning we start our nature and cultural experience as we depart from Paramaribo. After travelling a distance of approximately 190 km you arrive at the port of Atjoni where we join a motorized canoe. Our skilled personnel will navigate their way up the Upper Suriname River, which is famous for its breathtaking rapids, to the Danpaati River Lodge.

The Danpaati River Lodge is an exceptionally remote and tranquil oasis in the heart of the rain forest, and welcomes adventurous visitors in search of an escape from modern stresses and distractions. The lodge features a welcoming and breezy lounge facing the river, a pool surrounded by a hardwood yoga deck, and easy access to one of the few portions of the Suriname River where it is actually safe to swim. Accommodations are in spacious A-frame style cabins with carefully appointed amenities including fresh coffee service in the mornings, and unbeatable views across the river and into the thick surrounding rainforest.

Our day comes to an end with an exciting cruise on the river, looking for caiman lying on the river banks. Overnight at Danpaati River Lodge in a standard room. BLD

Day 6.
Today we will visit one of the 12 villages that are affiliated with Danpaati. Pikin slee is located 30 minutes by boat from Danpaati. We will take a guided tour through the village. You will be introduced to the unique way of life of the local population and to the wonderful traditions brought from Africa by their ancestors. After the tour we then visit the maroon museum Saamaka which is dedicated to the cultural heritage of the Saramak Maroon population. In the museum you will learn about the history of the Maroons, their ancient traditions and crafts. After the tour we return to the lodge for lunch.

In the afternoon, we will discover some the secrets of the rainforest during our walk. Afterwards you could choose to enjoy a massage done in a combination of traditional and Western techniques. There are also other possibilities to explore in the surrounding area. You can go fishing or take the dugout canoe around the island.

After dinner you can enjoy a traditional and cultural dance performance. Traditional dances such as the Seketi, Awasa and Bandamba will be performed by the local population. Your guide will explain the cultural significance of each dance. Overnight at Danpaati River Lodge in a standard room. BLD

Day 7.
This morning we still have some time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and take pictures. After saying goodbye to the staff, we depart by motorized dugout canoe from Danpaati to Atjoni. From Atjoni we will continue our journey back to Paramaribo by vehicle.

This evening you will be taken to a stylish Indonesian restaurant "Mirosso". Suriname and especially has a strong Indonesian flavour thanks to indentured labourers brought to work the plantations.

Continue transfer to your selected hotel. Overnight at Royal Torarica in a Deluxe Terrace room. BL

Day 8.
Private transfer to the local airport Zorg-en-Hoop for departing GUMAIR flight departing at 0730hrs to Georgetown, arriving at 0745hrs.

Pickup and private transfer from Eugene F. Correia International Airport to Georgetown.

Our guide will guide us around Bourda Market, the largest of the four markets in Georgetown. We will first stop at the Guyana Shop which has all the local products produced and packaged in Guyana before heading over to the market where we will meet some of the vendors.

We will visit the fish market, the meat section and the haberdashery section - where one can find anything you can think of from thread to bolts of all kinds of fabric. Dry goods like rice and of course demerara sugar is abundant. A stop at the bush medicine stalls is always educational. Heading outside you can see, touch and taste a variety of local fruits and vegetables unique in this part of the world.

Continue on a tour of the city of Georgetown with an experienced guide who will give you the history, rumour and facts on Georgetown and its citizens.

During your visit to Georgetown there are a number of interesting sights that should not be missed such as Stabroek Market - once described as a "bizarre bazaar, and St. George's Cathedral which is one of the world's tallest free standing wooden buildings. Other historic buildings along this promenade are the Public Library, City Hall, the Victoria Law Courts and St. Andrews Kirk. Visit the National Museum, which contains a broad selection of our animal life portrayed in taxidermy in beautiful old glass cases, and the Walter Roth Museum of Anthropology, which houses a wonderful collection of artefacts and explains Amerindian history and life style.

After our city tour we will have lunch at a local restaurant.

After lunch we will visit the Botanical Gardens, home to an extensive collection of tropical flora, and the Zoo which has become a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre that houses over one hundred different species of tropical wildlife. We will also pay a visit to a pond either in the gardens or the National Park, to feed the endangered West Indian Manatees.

Continue to your selected hotel.

The history afficionado will appreciate a stay at Cara Lodge: It is one of the oldest and grandest structures in Georgetown. The Quamina Suite epitomizes Georgetown's colonial elegance and the bygone charm of Guyana's past while steeping you in both comfort and convenience.

The building has a long and romantic history, initially as the home to the first Lord Mayor of Georgetown. The wooden post in the Quamina Suite was hand carved by the world-renowned Guyanese artist Philip Moore when he lived in what once was the attic of the hotel. He would later go on to design the 1763 Monument, better known as 'Cuffy'. Cara Lodge has been visited by many prominent dignitaries including King Edward the VIII, US President Jimmy Carter, HRH Prince Charles, Mick Jagger, and even superstar Channing Tatum.

Later this afternoon we will take a drive through the heart of the city to the Stabroek Market area. Here we will join the afternoon commuters using the old ferry stelling to board the river taxis which are used to cross the Demerara River. The river taxis are an alternative route to using the Demerara Harbour Bridge.

We will slowly cruise along and across the Demerara River while your guide will give a brief history of the famous buildings along the waterfront. We then continue our trip to see the Demerara Harbour Bridge, once the longest floating bridge in the world at a total length of 1,851m long. We will cross under the bridge and tie up our boat near a mangrove that is the nightly roost for a variety of birds. As the sun sets over the river, we will have a cold drink and some snacks (or cutters as we call them here in Guyana) as we enjoy flocks of brilliant Scarlet Ibis, Snail kites, Herons and three kinds of Egrets as they fly across the sky and settle into the mangroves for the evening.

Soon after the sun sets, we return to the ferry while enjoying the city and ship lights from the river. Return to the hotel.

Overnight at Cara Lodge in a suite. BL (Check in time 1400hrs, Check out time 12midday)

Day 9.
Private transfer to Eugene F. Correia International Airport.

We'll fly by chartered aircraft to the majestic and breathtaking Kaieteur Falls. (spending 2hrs on the ground) Kaieteur thunders over a precipice, plummeting 224 m (741 feet), making it the longest single drop waterfall in the world. This is Guyana's trademark and one of the most impressive and beautiful sights in the world. A solid column of water in a perpendicular drop into cascading foam and spray over the great boulders at the foot of the cliff, producing breathtaking rainbows across the gorge (hopefully the weather will be clear!).

Kaieteur supports a unique micro environment with Tank Bromeliads, the largest in the world, in which the tiny Golden frog spends its entire life and the rarely seen Guiana Cock- of-the-rock nesting close by. The lucky visitor may also see the famous Kaieteur Swifts or Makonaima Birds which nest under the vast shelf of rock carved over millions of years by the black water of the Potaro River.

A tour around the Kaieteur Park will prove to be a truly fascinating experience. You will get the chance to view the Falls from several vantage points that offer excellent photo opportunities. With stealth and a little patience, you can get a close- up view of the beautiful, but tiny 'golden frog' and, if you're lucky you'll catch a glimpse of the brilliantly coloured, orange 'Cock-of-the-rock'. You will also make the acquaintance of several pretty but tiny carnivorous plants. There are lots of beautiful wild flowers too, including decorative Heliconias, Bromeliads and orchids.

Re-board aircraft and transfer to Apoteri airstrip.

Travel by boat along the Rupununi River, with opportunities to see wild Giant River Otters and Black Caiman, to Rewa Village.

Rewa Village is located where the Rewa River runs into the Rupununi River in the North Rupununi. The surrounding area is rainforest, mountains and oxbow lakes and teeming with wildlife birds and fish. The community of approximately 220 persons is predominately Macushi with a few families of the Wapashana and Patamona tribes. Villagers practice subsistence farming, fishing and hunting with little opportunity for cash employment.

In 2005 the community constructed the Rewa Eco-lodge so that they could establish a sustainable eco-tourism business that is owned and operated by the village. The lodge itself is situated on the river bank overlooking the Rewa River. Along the river bank tables and benches offer a relaxing location to enjoy the river. The grassed clearing in the rainforest houses three benabs and six cabins. The largest benab is the kitchen and dining area, with an outlook to the river. Accommodation is in two benabs each with two bedrooms and a large patio with hammocks for relaxing and six individual cabins.

Later this afternoon take a short boat ride from the lodge to the opposite bank on the Rupununi River. Hidden after a five-minute walk from the boat is a lovely oxbow lake. The magical setting is enhanced with a wooden deck out over the pond, allowing close-up views of the Victoria amazonica, the world's largest waterlily and the national flower of Guyana. The flowers which bloom at dusk are white on the first night. By the third night, they change colour to pink and also change to a male flower. The golden colours across the pond at dusk combined with birds coming into roost provide a lovely nature experience. Overnight at Rewa Eco-lodge. BLD

Day 10.
Enjoy breakfast at dawn overlooking the river.

Then head out by boat along the Rupununi River, into an oxbow lake to begin a hike up Awarmie Mountain. The climb is steep in a few sections but in general not too difficult. Along the way, you may see lots of birds and perhaps good close-up views of Black Spider Monkeys.

There is good birding along the trail with White Bellbirds calling both from the scrubby woodland at the beginning of the trail and again from the forests far below you when reach the summit. Other species you may see include Ornate Hawk-eagle, Black Curassow, Red-fan Parrot, Guianan Puffbird, Todd's Antwren, Spotted Tanager and Bay-headed Tanager. The area also has a high density of macaws including Scarlet, Blue-and-yellow and Red-and-Green Macaws.

There is a small plateau on the top of the mountain and in one direction, there are uninterrupted views back to the Rupununi River, some patches of Savannah and across to the distant Kanuku Mountains. In the other direction, there is a near vertical drop of at least 200m and the view is across great swathes of undisturbed forest to the distant Iwokrama Mountain and much closer, Makarapan Mountain. Makarapan is the oldest mountain in South America if not the world clocking in at an amazing two thousand million years old.

Return to the lodge for lunch.

This afternoon take a boat up the Rewa River and then a 15-minute hike to Grass Pond. This pond or lake is about 3kms long and is a beautiful setting with Victoria amazonica. It has a good population of Arapaima, (reportedly the highest density in Guyana) the largest scaled freshwater fish in the world and you can also fish for Peacock Bass. During a late afternoon visit, you may see Brown Capuchin monkeys or Capybaras. Birds likely to be seen include Limpkin, Wattled Jacana, Black-collared Hawk, Green Kingfisher and Guianan Puffbird. As dusk settles, watch the flower of the Victoria amazonica bloom. Overnight at Rewa Eco-lodge. BLD

Day 11.
After breakfast say goodbye to staff and newfound friends and board boat for travel along the Rupununi River to Kwatamang Landing.

Travel by boat along the Rupununi River to Kwatamang Landing.

Transfer from Kwatamang Landing through the rainforest to Corkwood in the Iwokrama Forest. Here there is a comparatively short trail to hopefully see the amazingly brilliant Guianan Cock-of-the-rock. This trail is through interesting and pristine rainforest and the guides can explain how the plants are used for medicine and other purposes. Continue transfer to Atta Rainforest Lodge, home of the Iwokrama Canopy Walkway.

The Iwokrama Canopy Walkway is situated near the southern boundary of the Iwokrama Reserve in central Guyana. The walkway has four suspension bridges leading to three platforms, the highest of which is over 30 metres above the ground. Amongst the likely highlights are Painted, Brown-throated and Golden-winged Parakeets, Caica Parrot, Guianan Puffbird, Waved and Golden-collared Woodpeckers and Spot-tailed, Todd's and Ash-winged Antwrens. The walkway is also an excellent place to look for various species of cotinga including the poorly known and range-restricted Dusky Purpletuft and if there are any suitable fruiting trees nearby, you stand a good chance of seeing this bird, as well as the more widespread Purple-breasted Cotinga.

Another area where we will want to spend some time is the clearing around the lodge, as this is one of the best places to see another of Guyana's "must see" birds, the Crimson Fruitcrow. The clearing is also a reliable site for Black Curassow as there is a large and growing family party which has become habituated to people and regularly passes through the clearing.

Atta Rainforest Lodge is 500 metres from the base of the Iwokrama Canopy Walkway, offering comfortable private-room accommodation with ensuite bathrooms, delicious home-cooked meals, and traditional Amerindian hospitality. The communal building houses the bar, dining area and kitchen and is open sided with views across the gardens to the towering forest, which completely surrounds the lodge. Hammocks and outdoor benches enhance the lovely gardens which include varieties of heliconias that attract over ten different hummingbirds, close enough for the perfect photo. Overnight at Atta Rainforest Lodge. BLD

Day 12.
Before dawn we will return to the canopy where we can birdwatch easily and may see Rufous-throated Sapphire, Green Aracari, Pygmy Antwren and Guianan Streaked-Antwren. With some luck Guianan Toucanet, Pompadour Cotinga, Buff-cheeked Greenlet and a host of crown specialists may come within our view. From this tree top vantage, you can sometimes see Red Howler and Black Spider Monkeys.

Apart from the Iwokrama Canopy Walkway itself you can enjoy wildlife and birdwatching walks on the trails around the area. For those interested in botany many of the trails have the key tree species marked. Many bird species, stunning insects, noisy amphibians, and playful primates make the surrounding forest their home. Deer, Tapir and agouti are also regular visitors to the lodge. Serious birders will want to search the undergrowth for the rarely seen Rufous-winged Ground-cuckoo.

As darkness falls on the canopy walkway, we will hope to see the White-winged Potoo. Night walks are also possible and something interesting or new always seems to pop on to the scene including the six different cats to be found along the transnational road near the lodge. Overnight at Atta Rainforest Lodge. BLD

Day 13.
Up before dawn for a final chance to birdwatch from the walkway or explore the trails for other wildlife with your guide. Return to the lodge for breakfast before departure.

After breakfast private transfer from Atta Rainforest Lodge by vehicle to Ginep Landing.

From Ginep Landing we take a boat trip travelling slowly on the Rupununi River, keeping an eye out for Jabirus nesting along the river, Bat Falcons, King Vulture, Crestless Curassow, White-necked Jacobin and Drab Water Tyrant to Karanambu Lodge.

Karanambu, a 110-square mile former cattle ranch located in the North Rupununi, was the home of the late Diane McTurk, conservationist and a world-renowned expert on giant otters. Known for its expansive wetlands and savannah, as well as its biological and cultural diversity, Karanambu encompasses savannah, marshy ponds, riparian forest, and a 30-mile stretch of the Rupununi River. The number of species found here is much higher than expected given its size with at least 600 species of bird and over 200 species of mammals. The seasonally flooded savannahs and forests also draw substantial fish migrations with as many as 700 species of fish — more than anywhere on Earth.

This region is rich in history and is the homeland of the Makushi and earlier peoples dating back more than 7,000 years. Several prominent explorers and naturalists have written about their experiences here, including Robert and Richard Schomburgk, Charles Waterton, Evelyn Waugh, and Gerald Durrell. A very young David Attenborough spent time here and wrote about it in his early book, 'Zoo Quest to Guiana'.

With both the river and the savannahs close at hand there is a wide variety of activities to be enjoyed at Karanambu. Two guided excursions are provided each day — one early in the morning and another late in the afternoon and into the evening. As well as being the coolest times to be out, these are usually the best times to see the different birds and animals. Trips may be on the river by boat, on the savannahs by vehicle or along forest trails on foot to the different ponds in the area.

Late in the afternoon, we will travel by boat to look for wild Giant River Otters and as dusk falls to the ponds to see the giant Victoria amazonica waterlily, bloom at dusk. On the return trip, we will spotlight for Black Caiman and birds and creatures of the night.

Accommodations are in traditionally made clay brick cabins, each with en suite and Veranda with hammocks. Overnight at Karanambu Lodge. BLD

Day 14.
This morning we make an early start to an area of rolling grasslands, home to a population of giant anteaters. With luck, we shall locate one of these six-foot long animals excavating its breakfast from one of the termite mounds that stud the savannah. Though giant anteaters live in overlapping home ranges they are mostly solitary except during mother-offspring relationships, aggressive interactions between males, and when mating. Mother anteaters carry their offspring on their backs until weaning them.

Evening river excursion or if you are interested in bird watching you can explore woodland patches or gallery forest along the river where we'll hope to find a variety of species. A feature bird for the area is the Agami Heron. An evening walk along the airstrip offers seven species of nightjar and among the grasslands the Double-striped Thick-knees. Overnight at Karanambu Lodge. BLD

Day 15.
After breakfast we say our goodbyes and private transfer by road from Karanambu Lodge to Lethem, join a schedule flight from Lethem to Eugene F. Correia International Airport.

Pickup and transfer to your selected hotel. Overnight at Cara Lodge. B
