Hiking and Trekking Paradise

The mountains, rain forests, and golden savannahs of Guyana provide the perfect setting for some of the most incredible walks and excursions you'll discover in South America. Try the harder hikes, including those up Makarapan Mountain or the Kaieteur Overland Tour, if you have hiking experience. With more gentle adventure walks like the Iwokrama Forest Trail, Surama nature hike, and Saddle Mountain trail, Guyana has you covered if you're looking for similar experiences but with less grit.

Mount Roraima is an ideal place for hiking and trekking. The only way to get to the top of Mount Roraima from Guyana is via helicopter or an extremely difficult rock climbing route for experts only. To the base of Mount Roraima from Guyana, there are a number of routes available. The waterfall-filled Lost World region is accessible through indigenous settlements like Paruima and Phillipai. Although there are multi-day trekking paths to the mountain's base as well as Double Drop Falls and Ushi Falls, the rainforest and flora are exceedingly dense.
