Essequibo River

The Essequibo River is the largest river in Guyana and one of the great rivers of South America, stretching over 1,000 kilometres from the Acarai Mountains near the Brazilian border to the Atlantic Ocean.

Along its winding path, the Essequibo and its many tributaries sustain an unrivalled ecosystem of waterfalls, dense rainforest, and extraordinary wildlife. River expeditions offer kayaking, canoeing, and boat trips through pristine waters, with opportunities to discover remote islands, indigenous communities, and landscapes that feel untouched by time.

For eco-tourists and adventure seekers, the Essequibo is Guyana's ultimate waterway.
