Stay in any of the amazing jungle lodges and camps but be sure to walk with your bug spray.  For a truly enriching cultural experience, stay in the community supported huts in the Amerindian towns.  

The cuisine of Guyana is heavily influenced by the Indian subcontinent, with prominent dishes being a variety of curried meats and ground provisions.  You are also sure to come across numerous roti shops, with those by the sea offering shrimp, crab and other seafood.  Pepperpot is another popular dish in Guyana, with many locals choosing to refresh themselves with Dark Rum and other strong spirits.  Have your shopping desires met at any of the numerous markets and malls.   You will find a range of beautiful locally made crafts, including paintings, sculptures, costume jewellery and batik fabrics.  Also noted for its exceptional gold jewellery, be sure to visit the Starbroek Market to view their unique display.
