Home » Guyana » Guyana - Three Day Itinerary » Guyana - Three Day Itinerary OverviewIf you are considering a trip to Guyana, here is a sample three day itinerary to help you schedule your visit as well as some general information and travel and safety tips to consider.
Getting to Guyana is not overly difficult, but will take some careful and thoughtful planning. Here are your options:
• By Airplane: Guyana is served by the Cheddi Jagan International Airport located just outside of Georgetown (you might also find it referred to as the Timehri International Airport). International flights are offered daily from Canada, and the United States through British West Indies Airways (BWIA) and Universal Airlines, and from Caribbean countries through Caribbean Star and BWIA. There are other airlines that service the interior of Guyana and surrounding areas, so be sure and find one that works best for your needs and one that you are comfortable with.
• By Automobile: If you are traveling to Guyana from another South American country, then you might be able to enter on land by bus or automobile. Guyana can be accessed by road from Suriname and Brazil. Buses run daily from the Surinamese border to Georgetown. The bus from the Brazilian border to Georgetown takes about ten hours and travels through the rainforest and savannah areas. Be aware that many foreign visitors to Guyana find the buses and road systems used very unsafe and dangerous so you might want to do some more extensive research on them if you are considering this option.
There are some requirements to keep in mind when entering the country. All visitors must have a valid passport to enter Guyana. Visas are also required from all visitors with some exceptions including Canada and the United States.
