Essequibo River, Turtle Mountain & Kurupukari Falls

An early boat trip on the Essequibo River offers an opportunity to hear the dawn chorus before breakfast.

The exhilarating climb to the 290-metre-high summit takes around two hours, but is worth the effort for the breathtaking views. On your return there is time to relax for a while, then as it starts to cool off, you set out to visit the Amerindian petroglyphs at Kurupukari Falls. After nightfall you meander along the river by boat looking for tree boas and tree frogs before making your way back to the lodge for dinner.

Early transfer though Iwokrama Rainforest, which is fast gaining an international reputation for its jaguar population. Stop en route for birding in the mori scrub, an unusual low forest on sandy soil that supports birds such as rufous-crowned elaenia, black manakin and red-shouldered tanager. Continue to Iwokrama Canopy Walkway to watch canopy-dwelling birds plus red howler and black spider monkeys. There are trails to walk, or you can explore the area around the lodge, where deer and agouti are regular visitors. Another major target is the white-winged potoo which can be seen from the canopy walkway after dark.

Day 6 Explore Atta Rainforest
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Explore Atta Rainforest

The forest around the lodge offers good birding, but the main attraction is the canopy walkway, from which you can see birds that would be difficult to see from the forest floor. Among the highlights are several species of parakeet, Caica parrot, Guianan puffbird, waved and golden-collared woodpeckers and three species of antwren. If the trees are in fruit, you may see rare dusky purple-tuft and purple-breasted cotinga.The clearing around the lodge is one of the best places to spot the ‘must-see’ crimson fruitcrow, which often feeds in the nearby trees. A family group of black curassow regularly passes through and, with luck, you should be able to add this usually timid bird to your list.

Accommodation: Atta Rainforest Lodge,

Meals: All Inclusive
Day 7 Transfer To Surama

Transfer To Surama

Welcome the dawn chorus from the canopy walkway and witness the activity as short-tailed nighthawks settle for the day, swifts take to the sky, white-throated and channel-billed toucans yodel, and barred-forest falcons call. After breakfast drive into the forest to seek out Guianian cock-of-the-rock and hear about the uses of jungle plants, then continue to the Amerindian village of Surama, set on a small patch savannah surrounded by rainforest-clad hills. Surama’s inhabitants are mainly from the Macushi tribe and still observe many traditional practices. After settling in, you visit the school, medical centre, church and some village houses. A short trail walk will show you the forest through the eyes of your indigenous guides, and you’ll learn about medicinal plants and their uses. Later, a night walk reveals the mystery of the forest after dark.
