OUR EXPERIENCE

Guyana rewards the prepared traveler. Plan your transportation, lodging, and activities before arriving, and be ready to venture beyond Georgetown – because some of the country’s greatest experiences are found deep in the interior.

Once we reached the village of Apoteri, however, any difficulty getting there quickly became part of what made the experience so memorable. We spent an incredible week fishing the rivers, exploring the surrounding rainforest, and getting to know the Amerindian people who welcomed us into their community. We left Guyana feeling like we had barely scratched the surface, and enjoyed our time in Apoteri enough that we’ve already planned a return trip.

THINGS TO DO

Amazon Fishing

Fish deep in Guyana’s rainforest, where the Rewa and Essequibo Rivers meet near the remote Amerindian village of Apoteri.
Guided by local Wai Wai and Macushi fishermen who know these waters, you can spend your days traveling by boat through the surrounding rivers and jungle in search of peacock bass, payara, catfish, and other Amazonian species. The fishing can take you far from the village and into places accessible only by boat, where wildlife, untouched rainforest, and the occasional riverside lunch become as much a part of the experience as the fish themselves.
