Caiman House, Yupukari
Caiman House
A research-oriented lodge in Yupukari village where you can join researchers by boat at night to catch and tag black caimans.
Caiman House is a lodge and field station on the Rupununi River in Yupukari village, run in partnership between the community and researchers. Its signature experience is a night boat survey of black caimans. You watch researchers catch, measure and tag South America's largest crocodilian, then release it. During the day you can visit the village school library and furniture workshop, or go birdwatching on the river. It is about an hour's drive from Karanambu, and the two are often combined.
