Guyana

The only country in South America with English as its official language, famous for Kaieteur Falls, tropical rainforest and the Rupununi savanna.

Guyana lies in northeastern South America on the Atlantic coast, bordering Venezuela, Brazil and Suriname, and is culturally closer to the Caribbean. Most of the country is covered by tropical rainforest. Highlights include the towering Kaieteur Falls, the Iwokrama rainforest and the Rupununi savanna in the south, making it well suited to birdwatching, wildlife viewing and ecotourism. The capital, Georgetown, preserves wooden colonial architecture. The dry seasons (roughly Sep–Nov and Feb–Apr) are generally considered the better times to travel. The main gateway is Cheddi Jagan International Airport, near Georgetown.
