One of the country’s most remote destinations is Rewa Eco-lodge, a community-tourism project of the small Makushi village of Rewa situated at the confluence of the Rupununi and Rewa Rivers. Years of dedicated hard work allowed the villagers to build their own ecolodge, which offers simple but clean, comfortable accommodation with individual cabins nestled at the forest edge, just paces from the river. An impressive benab houses the dining area and bar, with breakfast being served on a deck overlooking the river. Their expert guides offer a warm, friendly service as they showcase their pristine and biodiverse corner of Guyana.

It is one of the best places for observing the Arapaima, the world’s largest scaled freshwater fish, which are abundant in the many oxbow lakes and rivers around the lodge. These waterways also offer exceptional sport fishing, which is one of the main attractions for some visitors. Rewa Eco-lodge offers a range of exciting experiences, such as hiking up Awarmie Mountain, where you will have an uninterrupted view across the rainforest. Enjoy comfortable boat trips in search of neotropical wildlife and the unique opportunity to hike through the rainforest to encounter the goliath bird-eating spider. You can also visit the village where you will learn about the local way of life or enjoy a bar-be-que on a sandbank in one of Guyana’s most remote, biologically diverse environments.
