
The Atta Rainforest Lodge is simple yet rustic enough to give you a real jungle feeling. Every aspect of this lodge is
designed not only to preserve nature and wild life but also to hand it to you in a package you cannot resist. It is located in
Iwokrama.

The Atta lodge is a comfortable hammock camp within the Iwokrama Forest Reserve, a short walk from the Iwokrama
canopy walkway. Surrounded by pristine forest and built in collaboration with local communities using natural materials, the
lodge is surprisingly comfortable and features a bar, a sitting area and a modern bathroom and shower block.

Activities

There are guided tours into the forest and also to the canopy walkway, particularly to watch the birds at dawn and dusk. In
this area, you are most likely to witness a jaguar in its natural habitat. Other activities include nightly drives along the dirt
road which leads to the lodge and this is where the likelihood of spotting a jaguar along with other beautiful animals
increases.

Accommodation

There are two thatched sleeping areas on either side of the bathroom, providing shelter for 8 hammocks apiece strung up
side by side across the structure. There are plans to convert one of the shelters into a number of independent rooms.
17

Orinduik Falls can be found on the Ireng River which is located on the western border between Guyana
and Brazil. This river forms one of the streams of the Amazon River system. The falls are situated amid
the rolling, grass-covered hills of the Pakaraima Mountains, one of the most beautiful regions of
Guyana's hinterland. In contrast to the dramatic gorge at Kaieteur.

It is said that the name Orinduik is derived from the Amerindian name for an aquatic plant found at
these falls.

Orinduik Falls is typically included as a throw-in for the day tour to Kaieteur Falls. It's a wide, multitiered series of cascades, and it's really a waterfall that allows for swimming or soaking to cool off from
the tropical heat. The water splashes pleasantly down 25m (80ft) of rocks and ledges of jasper. Beyond
that, there's really not a whole lot more to this waterfall - especially when it's the follow-up act to
Kaieteur Falls.

Perhaps the best view of the falls is obtained from the air, where you can witness its full context.

On the ground, it's difficult to photograph the entire waterfall so you'll have to pick and choose how
you want to compose it.

Orinduik is ideally suited for swimming.
18

One of the tallest single drop waterfalls is located in our beautiful Guyana. Located on the Potaro River
in the Kaieteur natural park, it stands at an amazing 223 meters from its sandstone cliff and is 113
meters wide. It is the mighty Kaieteur. It flows over a series of cascades and if included in its
measurements, brings it to a towering 251 meters which is more than 800 ft. It is not only its height
that makes it magnificent but the rare fact that it combines its height with a water volume that puts it
in a league almost of its own. This makes it safe to say that it is one of the most powerful waterfalls in
the world.

Upon hearing the sounds of monkeys and jaguars, snakes and birds you realize that it is only in a place
like this that nature can hit you right in the face. The sound encapsulates what paradise really is and
has the ability to make you feel small and still appreciate every minute of it. The round trip takes five
days four nights and commences with an eight hour trip to Madhia which is a small town. The next
three days would be dedicated trekking overland to the bottom of the fall and if you like challenges,
know that one awaits you, for the trek up to the top of the fall is a challenge indeed. However all of that
is quickly diminished when you arrive at the top and realize that all that hard work paid off. The ages
of guests to date have ranged ten to seventy years of age. The overland tour is available all year
round.

the chance to view the Kaieteur Falls from five separate vantage points (Johnson's view, Boy Scout view, Rainbow
view, Break view, Lookout view). Visitors are later guided along rainforest trails by a knowledgeable tour
guide. With a little patience you can usually get a close up view of the beautiful, but poisonous 'golden frog'
and, if you are lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of the orange 'Cock-of-the Rock'. You will also make the
acquaintance of several attractive carnivorous plants, some of which feed on insects.
20

For those who wish to enjoy the complete experience of both Kaieteur Falls and the National Park, there is a regularly scheduled regional

your own water, food and other supplies to last. Also, there are additional expenses such as park entrance fees (US$12/person),
accommodation fees (US$14/night) and guide fee (negotiable) to be considered that would normally be included in the total package
price from a tour operator. The ticket can be purchased either at the Georgetown regional Ogle airport from tour operators.

The annual Fish Festival began in September of 2006 in the small fishing village of “Rockstone” located on the western bank of the
Essequibo River (the country's longest river, it rises in the Serra Acaraí, near the southern frontier with Brazil, and flows north for 1,010
km (630 mi) to the Atlantic Ocean, near Georgetown, where it forms a wide estuary). This event attracts approximately 1200 visitors both
local and from overseas.

Registration usually begins at 5:00 hrs and boats are available to take fishermen/women out to their spots of choice within the
jurisdictions and bring them back at 15:00 hrs on conclusion of the competition. At that time they bring in their catch to be judged and
winners announced.

Pre-eminent among the three hundred and sixty-five islands in the mighty
Essequibo is this wonderful little paradise with 187 acres of lush green foliage and colorful
tropical flowers.

Five miles South of Bartica, it is the gateway to the unspoiled rainforest of
Guyana and the junction where the great Essequibo and Mazaruni Rivers meet.
The Resort has a seventeen-room capacity, with 13 self-contained superior rooms and 4 standard
rooms. Additionally, the resort houses a modern conference/boardroom facility with a 30-seat capacity and an
additional gazebo that can accommodate up to 60 persons.
You could enjoy a 20-minute flight directly to the island from Georgetown or a picturesque trip of a one-hour
drive along the coast and one hour by boat from the mouth of the Essequibo. At Baganara Island Resort we
offer a variety of other outdoor activities including canoeing, fishing, water skiing, kayaking, volleyball, table
tennis, pools, riding wave runners, banana boats, pedal boats or simply sunbathing and swimming. You can
answer the call of the wild along our jungle walk, where you'll find many different species of flora and fauna.
The Green House is a business centre with a boardroom styled conference facility and 2 deluxe room fully self
contained rooms. It is named for the first manager on the Island, Mr. Freddy Green. Baganara Island Resort is an
Island in the Essequibo river. It is 187 acres and has a private airstrip (2000 Ft runway)
24

The word Bartica comes from the Amerindian word meaning “red earth”, which you will
see in abundance when you visit this town. It was developed as an Anglican Missionary
settlement in 1842.

Bartica is located on the left bank of the Essequibo River in region 7 at the intersection
of the Cuyuni and Mazaruni Rivers with the Essequibo and can be accessed from Parika.
This town has a population of 15,000 residents and is considered the gateway to the
interior, especially for those people who do gold and diamond mining in the bush.

This town has only one secondary school and two primary schools; however, there are
several other primary schools in surrounding communities. Just next door, north of
Bartica, there are still remains of the Dutch fort Kyk-Over-Al, Essequibo and Marshall
Falls.
25

ACCOMMODATIONS

There is always accommodation available from some prominent hotel in this town. The New Modern Hotel, Zen’s Plaza and
the Platinum Inn.

And the night life here is not lacking since there is a nightclub located in the Modern Hotel Building.

Bartica has a significant Brazilian population, so one can only imagine the Brazilian dishes from their restaurants and Bars.

Nearby to Bartica are also some of our most famous resorts; Shanklands, Whitewater, Baganara just to name a few. This
added to everything else make Bartica the place to be.

During the Easter weekend, there is the annual Bartica Regatta. At the Regatta there are water sports (mainly speedboats),
cricket, boxing, football, talent shows, street parades and the main attraction; the Bartica Regatta Pageant.

In addition there is a summer regatta which is held annually in August.

“Ecotourism is one of the important components of Iwokrama strategy for financial self sufficiency. The Iwokrama Forest and the Rupununi Wetlands
and savannahs offer visitors the opportunity for an exceptional natural and cultural experience set in a learning context.

Iwokrama is a place for all ages and all interests and you choose what you want to do. By staying at Iwokrama you are directly contributing to the
communities in and surrounding the forest and to the conservation of what lies within. You will also contribute towards the development of an ecofriendly sustainable tourism model which can be shared locally, nationally and with the international community.”

About 300 miles away from the capital city Georgetown is a forest called Iwokrama. It includes 360 kilometers of lush,
untouched rainforest and has become the home of the Iwokrama international centre.

Over 18 years ago, the Guyana government decided to dedicate the Iwokrama forest to the international community to be
used for demonstration and scientific research. Here the social, economic and ecological nature and the potential of tropical
rainforests can be studied and tested without hindrance.

The Iwokrama Forest encompasses about almost one million acres (3,700 sq. km / 370,000 hectares / 1,429 sq. miles)
with a boundary of 442km (274 mi.). At its widest, the area is 85 km (53 mi.), and the greatest extent in a north-south
direction is 80km (50 mi.). The Georgetown-Lethem Road dissects the Forest, traversing about 72km (45 mi.) between the
northeastern and southern boundaries. The Forest lies between 4 and 5 degrees north latitude and 58.5 and 59.5 degrees
west longitude
28

Arrowpoint Nature Resort is named after the many Arrow Trees found in the area, which is used by the Amerindians
to make their arrows for hunting. The Resort itself is set against the backdrop of the Rainforest which is a haven for
birdwatchers and nature lovers since there is an abundance of wildlife including 350 species of birds. There is also a
maze of jungle trails used for Nature Walks and Mountain Biking. In the foreground is a stretch of white sandy beach
sloping gently into the refreshing cool black waters of the Pokerero Creek.

The Arrowpoint nature resort was opened ten years ago and so many years later, the vision of having a place where
one can go and relax in a calming atmosphere just keeps getting better. This resort lies on the Pokerero Creek and is
a tributary of the Demerara River.

The Arrowpoint Resort consists of four cabins. There are two rooms in the main house and a conference room that
cam accommodate thirty persons.

Activities
The activities at Arrowpoint are numerous, educational and exciting. Whether it’s the thrill of Bird Watching, the
excitement of Mountain Biking, Hiking, Kayaking, Pedal boating, Surf-Biking or simply relaxing in a hammock with a
book, visitors will discover nature while having great fun and adventure.
29

This area is mainly populated by the Makushi tribe. It is located in the Amerindian villages of Annai and
Rupertee on the North Rupununi Savannahs of Guyana, where the foothills of the Pakaraima mountain
range meet the tropical rainforest. The Iwokrama International Centre Field Research Station and the
fourteen villages of the indigenous Makushi people are easily accessible. This is probably the prime
spot for bird watching. The Lodge is accessible by land or air from both Georgetown and Brazil (Boa
Vista and Bon Fin).

The Rupununi is a vast area of dry grasslands, with sparse trees, termite mounds and wooded hills in
the Southwest of the country. The savannah is divided into the North and South Rupununi by the
Kanuku Mountains; it is scattered with occasional Amerindian villages and a few large cattle ranches
which date from the nineteenth century. Every year the rains flood the savannah. In many areas it is
possible to move about only by boat during this season, allowing for exciting water tours of the
Rupununi beautiful forest areas.
