Does anyone know how long and how one travels to Port Kaituma?
Are there reputable tour agencies that will take you to the former Jonestown location?? And if so what is the usual going rate?
I am looking into traveling to Guyana and can not leave there w/out seeing that area.
Advanced thanks!

First: How long does it take to get from Georgetown to Port Kaituma?
Are there any tour agencies/guides that will go to Jonestown? If so is there public lodging in Port Kaituma. I am assuming that is a closer region to Jonestown than Georgetown.

I am Arthur living and worling in Dubai. I am interested to crosspond the people living in Guyana, for mutual goodwill and friendship.

I'm planning a trip arouns South America and need to get from Brazil to Guyana by road. Can anyone tell me whether this is possible and if so, where the buses go from. I know there are some from Boa Vista but I was hoping there were buses from other parts of Brazil.

Thanks.

Can you tell me the cost of the trip from Lethem to Bonfim,
Bomfim to Boa Vista? Please offer directions on how to get there safely.
Thanks

I was told by someone who lives there that it would be too dangerous for me to take public transportation from the Georgetown airport to the bus station (an hour away.) The taxi might cost me up to $50 each way, though. What has anyone else done to make this connection? Do you take the taxi or the bus? (I am a middle-aged white woman with a big backpack.) Thanks.

I need to go Santa Elena, Venezuela to Latham, Guyana. I am a US Citizen with a Chilean ID for foreigners. I am hoping to cross the border with the chilean ID: If it doesn´t work, or they ask for my passport, are there any other options for me at the border? Can one bribe the guards for a 2 day permit to cross to Guyana or get a permit to cross somehow?

I read that Brazilian Law Nr 6.8.15 Article 8 states that no transit visa is required if the person is on a continuous trip interupted only for mandatory stops. Is this border recognized, and are there travel companies booking passage for this to make this a more believeable arguement?

Can anyone tell me about the affidavit of support? I would like to know if i need to have a bank account and how much money would they exspect for me to have in the account? How far back in my records will they look? Is someone else allowed to sponsor my husband if I can't? Will they need any other finicial documents from me or the other person that may sponser my husband like tax information? What else would I need to know about the affidavit of support? Thank you for any information that you may be able to give me.

Does anyone know anything about the Direct Consular Filing in Guyana???? I am american and i will soon be getting married to an Guyanese man and i just want to find the fastest way to get my husband in the US with me where he belongs. I am going to be in Guyana for 1 month but I may extend my stay so that we won't have to be away from each other for so long. Is there anyone out there that can help me????

I will be visiting Guyana in March / April and will be visiting the coast doing some turtle watching and visiting Iwokrama. I would like to take some thank you gifts for the people whom I meet on my journey. Any ideas what would be appreciated?

Hi, does anyone know of any cheap flights out of Guyana to the south of South America?

Many thanks

Does anybody know if it is possible to get to Guyana overland or sea from Venezuela without going through Brazil? It is difficult and expensive to get a Brazilian visa. I was thinking of a boat along the coast or hiking from Mt. Roraima. Has anybody heard if this is possible?
Thanks!

We're going to be in Georgetown for about a week in late November or early December. What do you suggest we see and do with our time? We're travelling with friends and have some committments but will be able to make day trips out of town if transport can be arranged. We're considering a flight to Kaiteur Falls and also jet boat ride on the Essequibo. We're also interested in what there is to see right in Gerogetown. Thanks.
