Practical tips for Guyana
- Guyana operates on the Guyanese Dollar (GYD); cash is essential outside Georgetown, as small businesses and interior lodges rarely accept cards.
- Opt for registered, yellow-plate taxis arranged by your hotel or dispatcher rather than hailing cabs on the street, especially after dark.
- Pack high-strength DEET insect repellent, lightweight long sleeves, and consult your clinic regarding yellow fever and malaria prophylaxis before venturing into the interior.
Fun fact about Guyana
Guyana is the only English-speaking country in South America and culturally identifies far more closely with the Caribbean than with its continental neighbors!
