RIVERS
Slim capillaries on the map turn into mighty rivers when you zoom in closer . The three main rivers of Guyana – the Essequibo , the Demerera and the Berbice – along with their many tributaries and the Corentyne River which borders Suriname – flow spectacularly through the country ’ s emerald landscape .
Sources of life and fertility , the rivers abound with small indigenous villages and rich wildlife ecosystems . Boats travel up and down these waterways , offering gorgeous views of the landscape and tantalising peeks into life along the riverbanks .
Not only are the rivers the primary means for transportation in some of the more remote locations of the country , Guyana ’ s rivers also offer excellent sport fishing , wildlife spotting and birding hotspots .
