GEOGRAPHICAL INFO
Guyana is the only nation state of the Commonwealth of Nations on the mainland of South America. It is north of the equator but in the tropics and is located on the Atlantic Ocean. Guyana is bordered to the east by Suriname, to the south and southwest by Brazil and to the west by Venezuela. It is the third smallest country on the mainland of South America.
Capital: Georgetown
Languages: English
Currency: Guyanese dollar (GYD)
Geography
Guyana can be divided into four natural regions: a narrow and fertile marshy plain along the Atlantic coast where most of the population lives, then a white sand belt more inland containing most of Guyana's mineral deposits, the dense rainforests {Forested Highland Region} across the middle of the country, the grassy flat savannah in the south and finally the larger interior highlands consisting mostly of mountains that gradually rise to the Brazilian border. Guyana's main mountains are contained here, including Mount Ayanganna (2,042 m) and on Mount Roraima (2,835 m) – the highest mountain in Guyana on the Brazil-Guyana-Venezuela tripoint, part of the Pakaraima range. Roraima is said to be have been the inspiration for The Lost World. There are also many steep escarpments and waterfalls, including the famous Kaieteur Falls. Between the Rupununi River and the border with Brazil lies the Rupununi savannah, south of which lie the Kanuku Mountains.
Climate
While Atlantic sea breezes bring some relief from the turbid atmosphere during the day, visitors unaccustomed to the climate may find nights somewhat unbearable. Guyana's climate hardly budges from 25-30°C (75-85°F) with on-and-off rain, mostly in September and October. Nevertheless, sunshine is still regular and conditions are overall more comfortable on the plateau if the coast and lowlands get a bit much.
