Go to Wakapoa, Guyana

I volunteered for three months in a remote Amerindian community called Wakapoa off of the Pomeroon River in Region 2. The people are warm, generous, and have taught me much. The area’s natural beauty inspired Sir Arther Conan Doyle’s “The Lost World”. Geographically, the community is a series of islands in a flood plain, and is only accessible by a narrow opening in a dense mangrove forest through which you travel by boat. The air is clean, and the water is warm and cola-red because of the rainforest run-off. The image attached does not do it justice, but gives you a hint of what you will see when you arrive- its a giant silk-cottonwood tree that was probably planted by dutch missionaries hundreds of years ago to serve as a landmark. An experience of a lifetime.
