Things to Know
Price: tour prices range from US$185 to US$230 per person in a group flight. The tours do tend to include return airfare, transfers, entrance fees, boxed lunch, guided tour, and soft drinks/water.
Overnight: It is sometimes possible to stay overnight in the park as there is a guesthouse on site. Pre-arrangements are definitely necessary.
Safety: Hiking shoes are not necessary (I wore flip flops) but do remember you will be walking – don’t wear heels or that kind of thing. By the falls, there are no railings and the ground is very bumpy/rough so please, be careful.
Patience: Having some will be necessary. If you prefer not booking a tour and just want a flight, you may need to show up several days in a row at the airport before you’re successful in snagging one. I met someone who tried five times before getting a flight…
Luck was on your side for the flight and for having a National Park to yourself. 🙂 Love the last picture of you!
one needs to have a healthy dose of luck to have things go your way when travelling through Guyana!
It’s hard to imagine a place so beautiful could be so deserted! Though I suppose if the only transport is a tiny duct tape plane that might scare some people off!
I really love some of your close up pictures here, just beautiful! The picture of you looking over the falls is amazing, but gives me vertigo at the same time!
I’m so glad you found your little frog! He looks so cute, I just want to pet him, but I assume his horribly poisonous?
yep, he’s poisonous! which makes me sad 🙁
