G Guyana is beautiful country in the south america. There many tourist attraction.
1. Georgetown
The vibrant character and graceful beauty
of Georgetown reflects much of the city's exceptional cultural history and
diversity. Designed by the Dutch (and first known as Stabroek), Guyana's
capital has wide, tree-lined avenues, lily-covered canals, and many fine
examples of 18th and 19th century colonial buildings. Georgetown's tropical
botanical gardens, as one might expect in a country of such incredible natural
beauty, are considered to be among the very best in the world. Throughout the
city are colourful East Indian markets, indicative of the country's largely
East Indian population. Because Georgetown lies below sea level at high tide,
it is protected by an amazing masonry wall, or mole. The city is situated at
the mouth of the Demerara River, one of the many rivers that flow down from the
Guiana Highlands and across the coastal plain to the Atlantic.
2.Kaieteur and Orinduik Falls
Situated in the heart of Guyana on the
Potaro River, a tributary of the great Essequibo, Kaieteur Falls is one of the
world's natural wonders. Flowing over a flat, sandstone tableland into a deep
gorge, Kaieteur has a single drop of 741 feet (the largest single drop
waterfall in the world). It then plummets downward for another 101 feet for a
total of 822 feet--five times the drop of Niagara. The unusual conditions
created by the falls support a fascinating micro-environment, which includes
some species identifiable only to this area. Lucky visitors may catch a
fleeting glimpse of the Kaieteur Swifts, or Makonaima Birds. Swifts are the
most rapid fliers among living creatures, a property that allows them to snatch
up insects while on the wing. The Kaieteur Swifts nest under the vast shield of
rock hidden behind the curtain of falling water. The Orinduik Falls lie on the
Ireng, a highland river that thunders over steps and terraces of jasper on the
border divide with Brazil before merging with the Takutu and then heading down
into Brazil to join the great Amazon. 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,
Orinduik is ideally suited for swimming.
3.Rupununi
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's
beautiful forest areas.
4.Shell Beach
Shell Beach extends for about 90 miles along
Guyana's northwestern shore, in the area between the Pomeroon and Waini Rivers.
True to its name, this remarkable strand consists of uncounted numbers of tiny
shells, a composition that makes it an ideal nesting site for sea turtles. Four
of the world's eight sea turtle species come here each year between March and
July, struggling ashore at night to dig nests among the shells, lay as many as
ten dozen eggs, and return again to the water.
