Iwokrama Rainforest
Iwokrama is a huge protected rainforest in the heart of Guyana, cared for by scientists and local communities together. It is a living classroom where people study how to keep a jungle healthy forever.
Visitors love Iwokrama because it is one of the best places on Earth to spot wild jaguars, giant otters, and huge harpy eagles. It shows how people and nature can share the land and both do well.
Walking in the Treetops
A famous Canopy Walkway lets you stroll on bridges high above the forest floor, level with the birds. From up there you can watch monkeys leap and hear the whole jungle wake up at sunrise.
Home of the Jaguar
Iwokrama is famous for its jaguars, the biggest cats in the Americas, which are surprisingly relaxed here. Lucky travelers sometimes see one crossing the forest road in the early morning light.
Warm and Rainy
The rainforest stays warm and steamy all year, with sudden showers that make everything glisten. All that rain feeds giant trees and thousands of plants that keep the air fresh and cool underneath.
