Meet Charro Albert, a proud descendant of the Arekuna nation from Paruima, Guyana.

After eight years of teaching in the local community of Paruima, she was able to join the tourism industry with an eagerness to share her passion for travel, exploration and culture in whatever way she can. As Guyana’s tourism industry continues to grow and with so much more to explore, Charro takes great pleasure to ensure travelers have an enriching experience not only here in Guyana but in our neighboring countries as well.
