Georgetown, Guyana
We flew into Guyana on an overnight flight from New York. My first clue that Guyana would be different than a typical South American country was our airline. We flew with Caribbean Airlines, the only carriers that offers nonstop service between New York and Georgetown.
It turns out that Guyana's colonial past and cultural makeup reflect the Caribbean more than the rest of South America. The small country has a very island vibe, with colorful pastel homes and swaying palm trees. It actually reminded us a lot of Grenada!
We didn't spend all that much time in Georgetown – our trip focus was on the country's rugged Amazon interior – but enough to absorb the feel and taste of the capital.
Here's a quick travel guide for anyone looking to explore the highlights of Georgetown, Guyana!
