Overland travel to Lethem is fun especially if you are an adventurous person thrilled by off-road drives , but the next four days in this town located on the border with Brazil for their annual Rodeo celebrations is an absolute blast .
Lethem by itself is hot , and I ’ m not talking about the people alone . With loom-covered roads and , large swaths of savannah and surrounding mountains , central Lethem is hot and dusty during the dry season .

after restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic were lifted . Locals quickly began setting up selling points and stalls for various food , clothing and other items along the roadways over the weekend , making It easier to not just feel rodeo but to also dress the part .
The first event of the much anticipatedRupununi Rodeo was the pageant where participants decked out in their best cowgirl outfits and elaborate costume designs , strutted the stage and showcase their talents and the culture of their various Regions known for its many ranches . This entertaining event did not disappoint !
