Overview & Highlights

This unique South American holiday focuses entirely on exploring the three Guianas: Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana.

A truly off-the-beaten-track itinerary, you’ll be travelling with a small escorted group as the remoteness and the nature of the wilderness terrain make the route difficult to negotiate independently – all the while getting to discover rarely-visited highlights of Suriname and the Guianas.

Specially curated by our exceptional team of South America experts, you’ll get to take an airborne adventure over dense jungle to Kaieteur Falls, the world’s largest single drop waterfall; surround yourself with wildlife in a rainforest canopy and drive through sweeping savannah punctuated by ancient sandstone plateaux.

You’ll stay in charming frontier settlements in comfortable accommodation; visit the French space station and an old penal colony; take boat rides down jungle-fringed rivers and lap up the atmosphere of colonial towns and bright, bold capital cities. While this is an adventure where flexibility is key, you’ll be rewarded by an unforgettable trip in this incredible, lesser-known part of Latin America.
