Getting around
Charter air services to the interior are available from the Ogle Aerodome in Georgetown.
Ferries cross most major rivers. There is regular service on the Essequibo between Charity and Bartica, with a stop at Parika (reached by paved highway from Georgetown). A ferry also crosses from Rosignol to New Amsterdam, along the Eastern Hwy on the way to the Suriname border. More frequent, but relatively expensive, speedboats (river taxis) carry passengers from Parika to Bartica.
Unscheduled minibuses link Georgetown with secondary towns. Rental cars are available in Georgetown, though not from the airport at the time of writing.
An International Driving Permit is recommended and is required for car rental.
Hitchhiking is not recommended – the threat of robbery is very real.
