GUYANA TRAVEL REPORT.

Punctual as never before, my Airplane no. Leaves from Hato International Airport in Curacao (Holland) at 9.30 pm 7I 711 of the Insel Air Company in the direction of Cheddi Jagan Airport in Timehri (Guyana), (price of the multi-route ticket including taxes 1) Medellin - Aruba, 2) Aruba - Curacao, 3) Curacao - Georgetown (Guyana), 4) Paramaribo (Suriname) - Curacao, 5) Curacao - Caracas (Venezuela): USD 621.35).

I therefore arrive at 11.35 pm, at the Cheddi Jagan Airport in Timehri (Guyana), located about 41 km south of the capital Georgetown. There are 6 hours of time zone, compared to Italy.

A visa is not required to enter Guyana for tourism purposes and for a period of up to 90 days.

From Cheddi Jagan International Airport in Timehri (Guyana), to reach the center of the capital Willemstad in an economical way, it is necessary to leave the Arrivals Hall, turn right and walk for about 100 meters. and get to the bus stop. Every half hour, both day and night every day, minibus no. 42 and headed to Stabroek Market behind the Parliament, in the center of Georgetown, the capital of Guyana. The trip takes about 1 hour and costs 300 GYD. You pay directly to the driver when you get on.

In Georgetown, the capital of Guyana, I slept at the YWCA Hotel, the cheapest in the city, located in Brickdam Street n. 106, on the eastern outskirts of the city, 200 mt. west of the D’Urban Park for the price of GYD 2,000 per night, in the dormitory.

Georgetown, the capital of Guyana, can be visited on foot during the day or by minibuses which cost GYD 80. In the evening and at night the city is not so safe and therefore it is advisable to travel by taxi for the price of 500 GYD. for each ride in the center.

In Georgetown to change money, go to Stabroek Market or New Market Street in the section between Carmichael Street and Main Street.

If you want to reach the Suriname border, your best bet is to spend the night in the adjacent town of Corriverton, located 10km north of Moleson Creek. To get there, take a minibus from Stabroek Market behind the Parliament in downtown Georgetown, which leaves when full. The trip takes about 3 hours and costs 1,500 GYD. You pay directly to the driver before getting off. There are many trips a day from sunrise to sunset.

In Corriverton, on the Main Street (Public Road), there are several hotels close to each other. I chose to sleep at The Ritz Hotel, at a cost of 5,000 GYD per night for a double room (there are no singles). Free Wifi.

From Corriverton, to reach Moleson Creek, I took a taxi for the price of 1,000 GYD. The journey takes about 20 minutes.

Keep in mind that to reach Suriname from Moleson Creek, there is only one ferry a day, at 11.00 am, which also carries trucks and cars and takes about 45 minutes to cross the Corentyne River to South Drain in Suriname. The check in to board is open from 7.00 to 10.00, during which it is necessary to buy the ferry ticket (one way 3.140 GYD) and obtain the exit stamp from the country in the passport. You can change currency, in black, before checking in.
