Guyana is home to one of the world’s largest undisturbed rainforests (its UN envoys regularly tell their colleagues that Guyana should charge the rest of the world for supplying it with so much clean air). Its Kaieteur Falls--five times higher than Niagara--is a roaring, authentic world wonder, its roster of wildlife is fascinating (manatees, rare black caimans, jaguars, giant river otters, tapirs, giant anteaters, and harpy eagles--all featured in an elegiac three-part 2008 BBC program called Lost Land of the Jaguar). And, to top it all off, Guyana’s people are justly proud and eager to share their country with its small, but canny cohort of visitors.
