The weather is great, the people are very friendly. The country is 97% covered in pristine rainforest. This place should be famous for eco-adventures, but alas, too much is wrong with Guyana to ever give it international status/recognition. - Feb 2012


Small and laid back. No traffic! Lots of stunning, untouched nature. Friendly. Cost of living is fairly high for imported items and interior travel (because it is so remote), but one can definitely save money here. Great weather year-round! Always between 70 and 90F. Housing is good and comfortable. Interesting old colonial architecture. Fresh fruit year round. - Feb 2010
