The country’s capital is a colourful city with
a distinctly Caribbean feel. Home to half the population, Georgetown
has a test cricket ground, the world’s largest wooden building
(St George’s Cathedral) and the world’s longest floating
bridge. Shanklands is a few hours away by boat along the beautiful Essequibo
River.
Properties
Cara Lodge
One of the oldest buildings in Georgetown, Cara Lodge is a lovely hotel constructed
mainly from wood and local materials. Well located for the cathedral and the
centre of town, all rooms have fans and plenty of character.
Shanklands
Perched on a hill overlooking the Essequibo River, Shanklands is a colonial style
property with a homely feel. White wooden cottages complete with hammocks and
verandas sit amongst 25 acres of gardens surrounded by dense rainforest.
Venezuela is a vibrant destination, lie back on a beautiful Caribbean
beach or take to the skies to view the Angel Falls. Guyana, the only English speaking country in South America is way off the tourist radar. Totally unspoilt, meet Indian tribes or search for the elusive jaguar.
