Our passion is for off-the-beaten path, the unknown, the unusual and quirky mixed with adventure and nature. We love remote and pristine environments and working to benefit local communities. Nothing embodies this more than the last frontier of South America: Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana.
But we aren’t averse to a bit of luxury either and so we have merged some of the best Caribbean hotels into our carefully planned trips, to add a touch of indulgence. Even in the Caribbean we feature less-known islands and search for the unexpected treasures that you won’t find easily.
We love to mix adventure, nature, wildlife and culture and throw in unique and unusual cuisines along with a dose of exciting personalities to create a fascinating and immersive experience.
Our team can create customised tours ranging from soft adventure journeys where the pace is comfortable and experiences rich, through to wild-country expeditions for the most intrepid explorers. Or choose from one of our carefully crafted itineraries designed to showcase the very best of our region.
If you are after a very particular experience, our knowledgeable Tour Planners can custom design a journey based on your interests, budget and requirements. Not sure and need ideas? We have a wide range of pre-packaged tours from general interest through to specialist birding tours to chose from or to create the foundation to personalise your journey. If you like small group adventures, our scheduled departures in Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana might offer the perfect solution.

Guyana travel warning was the most common piece of information I found when researching for a recent trip to South America. Besides warnings, it was hard to get concrete travel advice. Even Traveldudes did not have one travel tip for Guyana (this has now changed as I own the Guyana section) and besides Brendan Van Son, who has been everywhere, there were not many travel blogs on the subject.
A purring monkey, a vegetarian piranha and a flame-patterned lizard are among more than 400 new species of animals and plants that have been discovered in the past four years in the Amazon rainforest, conservationists say.
Discovered through hundreds of scientific expeditions between 2010 to 2013, the total of 441 new species – all new to science – includes 258 plants, 84 fish, 58 amphibians, 22 reptiles, 18 birds and one mammal. This tally does not include discoveries of insects and
Today, an international team arrived in southern Guyana, near the boarder with Brazil, to conduct a rapid biological assessment of the Rupununi Savannah, a sprawling tropical grassland peppered with rock outcroppings and forested mountains. Sponsored by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) with assistance from Global Wildlife Conservation (GWC), our expedition will spend the next couple weeks capturing a snapshot of the immense biodiversity that occurs in this poorly known region.
Our driver, Leroy, slammed on the brakes. The large Bedford truck behind us carrying our gear and most of our crew ran into a patch of think mud and was now sunk up to its axels and listing to one side. Up to now, our three-truck caravan had snaked its way towards to our first base camp without any problems.
Highlighting Wilderness Explorers' award-winning Amerindian Guyana tour, National Geographic Traveler presents 2014's must-see places on planet earth. Guyana earns a coveted spot on this exclusive, very short list for the very first time in 2014.
Moscow-born zoologist Vladimir Dinets, the author of Dragon Songs: Love and Adventure Among Crocodiles, Alligators and Other Dinosaur Relations is a research assistant professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

"...is my favorite corner of the Amazon, where I studied caimans in 2007, and it's beautifully preserved. It has miles upon miles of Victoria regia water lily-covered lakes, pr
Congrats to Andrew Snyder Photography whose Royal Flycatcher image (which we've featured before here on the Cookup) caught the attention of National Geographic's notoriously picky photo editors yesterday. The flycatcher is a particularly spectacular Guyana birdlife specialty, one of more than 840 bird species that call Guyana home. Come visit us and tick off this 'lifer'!
The numerical status of the giant arapaima fish ( Arapaima gigas )in its habitat in the North Rupununi wetlands is currently the subject of a survey funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Members of the North Rupununi District Development Board (NRDDB), which is conducting the survey, have said they intend to release the results shortly.
World Wildlife Day is an opportunity to celebrate the many beautiful and varied forms of wild fauna and flora and to raise awareness of the multitude of benefits that conservation provides to people. At the same time, the Day reminds us of the urgent need to step up the fight against wildlife crime, which has wide-ranging economic, environmental and social impacts.
At a press conference this morning, Demerara Distillers Ltd. (DDL) chairman Dr. Yesu Persaud announced that his company will give away free bottles of its flagship 15-year old El Dorado rum to passengers departing on flights from Chedi Jagan International Airport.
When you think rum, you might immediately conjure up images of brightly colored tropical drinks and tacky umbrellas and a keen anticipation of a bad headache the next day. Lo - behold the El Dorado Manhattan... a drink so "Dark, leathery and rich" that the cocktail editor at Playboy (that's right, Playboy) said the concoction "made me rethink everything I knew about cocktails."
In an effort to promote the restoration and preservation of the Amerindian language and cultural heritage, Conservation International and Iwokrama partnered with the ‘Maira & the Jaguar people’ film project to make this a reality.
