Guyana Sights

  1. Bartica

    The lively mining town of Bartica may come as something of a relief if you found Georgetown a little too tense. While the population of miners and forest workers may be rambunctious, they are generally typically Guyanese friendly. Easy excursions from the town include Marshall Falls and the ruins of the Dutch fort Kyk-Over-Al.

  2. Kyk-Over-Al

    At the junction of the Mazuruni and Cuyuni rivers is Kyk-Over-Al, a ruined Dutch fortress dating from 1616. From here, take a ferry to Marshall Falls, which is a good place for bathing and observing riverine wildlife.
