Visit Guyana

Unlike the sea-sand-sun and cruise tourism that is typically offered by its Caribbean neighbours to the north, Guyana with its unspoiled beauty, unique cultural heritage and amazing natural attractions instead offers a distinctly different tourism product. A country approximately the size of Great Britain, it hugs the Caribbean Ocean in the far northeast of the South American continent, tucked between Venezuela, Brazil and Suriname. It offers one with vast open spaces, savannahs, virgin rainforests, mountains, huge rivers and waterfalls, the most famous of which is the majestic Kaieteur Falls, known to be the highest single drop waterfall in the world and five times taller than Niagara Falls. Thanks to this extensive rainforest coverage, tourists will find that Guyana also boasts abundant wildlife, numerous species of flora, a variety of fauna and spectacular birdlife, all of which are accessible by land, air and river and are served by high-quality eco-resorts in the interior. With such a wealth of treasures, and the numerous distinctive international hotel brands that are soon to be providing first-class accommodation and other activities/services here, there’s no doubt that Guyana will soon become a popular international destination for travelers. The Global Tours and Travel Company is committed to offering visitors to Guyana unique experiences that they won’t find elsewhere, with adventure, nature and culture in large doses. We offer tours to all of Guyana’s natural attractions including the coastlands, grasslands, islands, highlands, rainforests, rivers and waterfalls. With Guyana being a melting pot of cultures, GlobalTT® gives visitors the opportunity to experience its rich, colorful and lively festivals and sample its rich culinary offerings reflecting its diverse heritage including cuisines from the Chinese, East Indians, Africans, Portuguese, Dutch, British and the Indigenous Peoples. Georgetown, the capital of Guyana, has been described as ‘the Venice of the West Indies’, with its elegant canals and bridges, tree-lined avenues, bustling markets, lush tropical vegetation and handsome wooden buildings, including the renowned St. George’s Cathedral, reportedly the world’s tallest wooden building. The city’s architecture is essentially colonial, having been molded by the French, Dutch, British and Spanish during the 18th and 19th centuries. Georgetown is a unique city that serves as a perfect jumping off point for ecotours into the South American interior and is the place where so many Guyanese come to shop, work and play. GlobalTT® offers special walking tours of Georgetown. The Global Tours and Travel Company offers special packaged vacations and all-inclusive tours to the other parts of Guyana allowing you to enjoy its natural wonders and striking landscapes including the famous and spectacular Kaieteur falls, the beautiful eco lodges along the mighty Essequibo river, scenic walks across the Iwokrama Canopy Walkway in the rainforest, climbing mountains and hiking through the jungles and catching a glimpse of big cats in the wild, hunting and fishing in a dugout canoe or kayak, horseback riding through the savannahs of the Rupununi, and birdwatching. Ecotourism is on the rise as more and more people are looking to experience the natural beauty of the world while making sure it stays protected. Few places on the planet offer raw adventure as authentic as densely forested Guyana. If your idea of a perfect trip is getting up close and personal with the natural world, our country is the continent's best-kept ecotourism secret. It is no wonder that that Guyana has been named the #1 “Best of Ecotourism” destination in the world.
