Discover the Quiet Side of South America

Virtually untouched by tourism and considered one of the hidden treasures of South America, Guyana is blessed with natural beauty, pristine rainforests, vast savannahs and extraordinary wildlife. Enchanted Expeditions offers four different ways to discover South America’s only English-speaking country.

Visitors can venture deep into these rainforest and savannah areas in search of the giant river otter, red howler monkeys, hundreds of bird species, the giant anteater and the elusive jaguar.

Travel is by river, dirt road or light plane. Some of the wilderness lodges are community-based and double as scientific research stations.

Guyana is easily combined with Suriname and French Guiana. Traveling overland from one Guiana to another is an adventure unto itself.

Dutch-speaking Suriname is renowned for its multicultural population, meticulously restored historic sites, and its own jungle adventures.

French Guiana, which is technically France, is home to the notorious penal colony of Devil’s Island or Iles du Salut, made famous by Henri Charrière in his bestselling biography Papillon.
