Guyana - Level 3: Reconsider Travel
Reconsider travel to Guyana due to crime. Read the entire Travel Advisory.
Guyana, situated on the northern coast of South America, presents a unique landscape divided into four distinct natural regions. The low coastal plain, a narrow and fertile marshy strip, is home to most of the population and the capital, Georgetown. Moving inland, a hilly sand and clay region harbors valuable mineral deposits. Further south lies the dense and biodiverse rainforest, encompassing much of the country's interior. Finally, the southwest is dominated by the Rupununi Savannah, a vast grassland region with diverse wildlife. Guyana's highest peak, Mount Roraima, lies on the border with Venezuela and Brazil, while the country's numerous rivers, including the Essequibo, Demerara, and Berbice, play a vital role in transportation and drainage.
