This September, our Indigenous partners welcome you to experience Guyana through their eyes — on journeys that centre culture, conservation, and community benefit.
In a fitting tribute to Amerindian Heritage Month this September, our tours, meticulously designed and curated by Wilderness Explorers, offer a profound immersion into the very soul of Guyana. Journeys such as Explore Guyana – A Wildlife, Conservation & Indigenous Communities Journey, Guyana’s Rainforest and Rupununi, and the Kanuku Mountains Expedition are intentionally crafted to include and highlight the Amerindian people, their vibrant culture, and their true generational wealth.

This wealth is not necessarily measured in currency, but in the invaluable, ancestral knowledge of the forests and savannas, the intricate cultural traditions, and the sustainable living practices passed down through millennia. By partnering directly with indigenous communities, these tours ensure that the Amerindian people are not just subjects, but the hosts, guides, and primary beneficiaries, sharing their own stories on their ancestral lands. Our ultimate aim is to learn from and emulate their harmonious relationship with nature, celebrating the original stewards who have sustainably managed these pristine ecosystems long before they became a destination for the world to discover.
Discover Guyana on a 15-day journey of wildlife, culture, and conservation. See Kaieteur Falls, five times taller than Niagara. Stroll through botanical gardens alive with birds and rare plants. Experience daily life in Indigenous villages and sustainable farms. Learn how communities safeguard nature while preserving tradition.
Experience Guyana’s biodiversity and culture on this 9-day rainforest and Rupununi expedition. Explore Georgetown’s heritage, the mighty Kaieteur Falls, and the vast Rupununi savannah. Spot giant river otters, black caimans, scarlet ibis, and even giant anteaters. Walk canopy bridges for a unique view of the rainforest and stay at welcoming eco-lodges. This is Guyana at its most authentic—wild, cultural, and full of discovery.
Follow the remote trails and rivers once linked to the legends of El Dorado on this Guyana jungle expedition. Journey through the Rupununi’s forests, savannahs, and mountains at the edge of the Amazon. Travel by foot and boat into habitats where wildlife thrives as it has for centuries. Encounter anacondas, caimans, giant river otters, eagles, and more in their natural home. This is a rare chance to explore landscapes little changed since the first explorers set foot here.
