Guyana

Guyana is a developing nation on the northern coast of South America.  Few tourist facilities exist other than hotels in the capital city of Georgetown and a small number of eco-resorts in the rugged interior of the country. The vast majority of the Guyanese population lives along the coast, leaving the interior largely unpopulated and undeveloped. Travel within the interior of Guyana can be difficult; many interior regions can only be reached by plane or boat, and the few roads are often impassable in the rainy seasons.  English is the national language.  Read the Department of State’s Fact Sheet on Guyana for additional information on U.S.- Guyana relations.
