In a captivating article, Joe Yogerst of Forbes takes readers on a journey to discover Guyana, dubbing it as an emerging travel gem. Describing it as an “Alternative Amazon,” Yogerst sings praises for the nation’s pristine rainforests, rich biodiversity, and vibrant indigenous cultures. He highlights the immense potential for eco-tourism and adventure travel, noting how the country’s unspoiled natural wonders, like Kaieteur Falls and the Rupununi Savannas, offer an authentic and immersive experience.
Yogerst writes, “Of particular interest was the trek to Kaieteur Falls, the world’s highest single-drop waterfall by the volume of water flowing over it… The flight in a little bush plane over unbroken rainforest to an isolated landing strip was as exciting as seeing the massive falls in person.”
According to Yogerst, Guyana is a paradise for eco-conscious travelers seeking untouched beauty, thrilling adventures, and unique cultural encounters. It’s the kind of place that promises not just a vacation, but an unforgettable journey into nature’s wonders.
