Introducing Corriverton
Together known as Corriverton, the towns of Springlands and Skeldon, on the west bank of the Corentyne River about 195km from Georgetown, are at the southeastern end of the coastal road from Georgetown. The town’s Main St is a long, lively strip with mosques, churches, a Hindu temple, cheap hotels, eateries and bars. Brahman (zebu) cattle roam round the market like the sacred cows of India. At the north end of town, the Skeldon Estate of Guysuco is the biggest local employer. If you need to stay a night on Main St, try clean Hotel Par Park (r US$10-12) or the recommended, antique Mahogany Hotel (339-2289; r US$13-33) which has some rooms offering good river views and a restaurant overlooking the main drag.
