Arrowpoint Nature Resort
Arrowpoint Nature Resort offers a glimpse into Guyana’s rich natural environment just a short distance outside of Georgetown. A one-hour boat ride along the Kamuni and Pokerero Rivers, through dense forest with overhanging vegetation and open wetlands, leads to the Amerindian community of Santa Mission. The resort sits within their ancestral lands and has an ample trail system for hiking and mountain biking, and offers bird watching along the peaceful stretch of a black water creek. The jungle waterways provide an exciting backdrop for kayaking, fishing and wildlife spotting. You can take a boat or alternatively take a mountain bike or hike through the forest to visit the nearby indigenous village to learn about their way of life.
Arrowpoint’s diverse ecosystem is rich in birds and one of the best places to view the Crimson topaz, a large hummingbird with iridescent crimson plumage and sparkling green throat. Bellbirds, numerous species of parrots and macaws feed in the scattered palms and a variety of small mammals and reptiles are seen around the resort.
Accommodation is in simple rustic cabins with ensuite bathrooms. The main communal thatched-roof lodge houses a comfortable lounge and open-air dining area overlooking the river and forest. A raised walkway leads to the bar and further on to a riverside lounge slung with hammocks, for a relaxing afternoon siesta. Dinner is often served on the beach, which is lit by flambés and an impressive bonfire and backlit by a light show orchestrated by the vast number of fireflies sparkling through the trees.
Arrowpoint Nature Resort is located in the Amerindian ancestral lands of Santa Mission. It is a 90-minute vehicle and boat ride south-west of Georgetown on the banks of the Kamuni Creek, a tributary of the Demerara River. Its surroundings offer a variety of habitats; open grassy marsh, scattered stands of Moriche palm and a secondary sandbelt forest. These habitats are rich in birds and wildlife including the brilliant Crimson topaz, toucans, parrots, monkeys and other small mammals.
