What to Expect

CLIMATE: Warm to hot and fairly humid. February is in the dry season, but some rain is still likely.

DIFFICULTY: Easy to moderate. Most trails are flat, but a few are fairly steep.

ACCOMMODATION: The lure of Guyana is the wilderness experience and the wildlife, so you should not expect luxury accommodation. Outside of Georgetown (where we are staying in an excellent hotel), the lodging ranges from rather basic at Atta to very good at Iwokrama. Atta has shared bathrooms, while all the others have private bathrooms. At most lodges, electricity is only available for a few hours in the evening by generator.
