Exploratory Trip

Journey to 3 of South America’s lesser known travel gems - Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana, collectively known as the Guianas. 90 percent of their territory remains as undeveloped, mostly unexplored jungle!

Be mesmerized by the pristine beauty of Kaieteur Falls (226m or 741ft - 4 times higher than Niagara), the world’s largest single drop waterfall! Journey by motorized longboats to lodges deep in the jungle, meeting local indigenous villagers and searching for wildlife including giant otters, giant anteaters, sea turtles, pink river dolphins, monkeys, caiman, a myriad of exotic, colorful birds and if you are lucky, the elusive jaguar!

Our urban and historic exploration includes Georgetown and Paramaribo (UNESCO), the Space Center (European satellite launch site), Camp de la Transportation (slave transit camp) and a catamaran journey to Devil’s Island (overnight on Île Royale). This eclectic, exotic off-the-beaten path journey is sure to enthrall and captivate even the well-seasoned adventure traveler!
