Guyana 🇬🇾 | Georgetown & Kaieteur Falls Adventure
The last missing piece of my South America puzzle was totally worth the trip! ✈️ In 2022 I visited Suriname 🇸🇷 and French Guiana 🇬🇫, but skipped Guyana 🇬🇾 due to visa issues. This time, I flew direct from Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹 to Ogle Airport, then exited via CJIA Airport to Houston 🇺🇸. ⚠️ PS: CJIA Airport (like Paramaribo's) is painfully far from the city - a full hour's drive! 🚗💨 Georgetown: The "Big Village" Experience 🏡 Let's be honest: • Paramaribo = quaint village 🏘️ • Georgetown = slightly bigger village...with urban sprawl 🌆 Highlights? Well... Aerial views of the city 🚁 Sunset at Ogle Airport 🌇 (honestly prettier than the town) The City Hall could be photogenic...if it wasn't under renovation 🚧 Kaieteur Falls: The Real Star 🌊 While it can't compete with Iguazu or Angel Falls, this world's largest single-drop waterfall is still spectacular! Need to know: 📍 Hidden deep in Guyana's rainforest 🌴 ✈️ Accessible only by plane (thankfully just 1hr flight) 💰 Tours: Half-day (~$300) with Touring Guyana or 592 Tours Full-day adds another waterfall (skip it! 🙅) ⚠️ Flight Warning: The Cessna 208 is: • Ancient 🦖 • Cramped 😣 • AC barely works 🔥 • Seatbelts dig into shoulders 😫 But hey - you might spot cute wildlife 🐒 at the falls! ❗️BEST KFC IN THE AMERICAS❗️ Yes, really. Guyana's KFC 🍗🔥 beats all others. Don't @ me. #AdventureTravel #HiddenGems #OffTheBeatenPath #GuyanaExplorer #WaterfallChaser #TravelTruths #FoodieFinds
