I want to go for holiday this place seems interested.

I was borned and raised in Wakapoa, Guyana. I am an Amerindian and my name is Colleen and my mother(Stella James) is of the Warau tribe and my father(Adrian James) of the Arawak tribe. We live up the Koria creek just a few miles from St Lucian MIssion. You may know that there are nine tribes of Amerindians in Guyana: Arawak, Carib, Warau, Patamona, Wapishiana, Makushi, Wai-Wai, Akawaio and Arekuna.
Food is mostly cassava and fish; Fishing and hunting and farming still exist here although the younger ones are leaving their homes to work with miners and loggers in different regions in Guyana.
If you are starting from Georgetown and would like to travel to Wakapoa, then the normal route would be to travel to Parika by road. Then you will ferry over the mighty Essequibo river (third largest river in the world) to Supenaam. A minibus or car will take you from here to Charity. From here a boat will get you in Wakapoa in about 1 and 1/2 hours. You will travel north in the Pomeroon river to the Wakapoa creek thence up this creek to the Koria creek. There are rough accommodations at various places. Check with local authorities and the mission captain for more information. Make sure you get appropriate shots as this region may have malaria. Good luck!!
