In the Land of Giants
Birds Illustrated
Winter 2007
"Guyana may not be easy to get around and some of the accommodation may not be as sumptuous as you may have become used to. Indeed compared to a five-star hotel, the many-starred canopy of a hammock on a riverbank has a charm all of its own. What price a Jaguar silently padding along a dirt track in front of your jeep or lazing on a riverbank by your canoe? How much luxury would you forego to witness a Harpy Eagle gliding overhead as you sit in a boat or relax in a chair up a canopy tower? This is the new last frontier; this is a rare chance to experience true wilderness. ." >>Link to BI website

Guyana: South America’s overlooked birding destination
Neotropical Birding
August 2007
"Guyana does not feature on many Neotropical birders’ radar as a key destination, but the country has developed an ecotourist infrastructure and has lots of birdlife to offer the visitor.... Given that Guyana is relatively small (with an area marginally less than that of the UK), English-speaking and has vast tracts of untouched rainforest, this situation is somewhat surprising. All the more so because of the quality of the birds which can be seen on a relatively short visit." >>Link to NBC website

"Unexplored jungles, uncharted rivers and mountains yet to be climbed: Guyana is the last great destination for adventurous travellers. But for Matilda Granville, A&K's Planning Manager for Latin America, it's the people she met who made Guyana stand out." >>Full Article

"The forests and rivers of Guyana boast an amazing fauna that includes the likes of Giant Otter, Jaguar, Harpy Eagle and Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock. So it is surprising to say the least that this small country on the north coast of South America is not better known among wildlife-watchers." >>Full Article

Birding in Guyana Papagaio
March 31, 2007
"On my first morning there, Red-and-Green Macaws screeched, Red-billed Toucans called, and images of Iwokrama’s elite bird species filled my head: Harpy Eagle, Crimson Topaz Hummingbird, Hoatzin, Rufous-Winged Ground Cuckoo, Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock, Crimson Fruit Crow…. ." >>Full Article

Cotinga Central Birdwatch
February 2007
"Guianan Cock-of-the-Rock is the most memorable of a number of spectacular cotingas that occur in little-known Guyana, but [...] the country has much more to offer adventurous birders. With such a wealth of birds, combined with an unrivalled spirit of both adventure and hospitality, it seems that very soon Guyana is destined [...] to become well and truly established as a first-class birding destination.">>Full Article

"Among the country's major birding attractions are the world's largest eagle, the harpy, which can have a wingspan of two metres and weigh up to eight kilogrammes; the rare red siskin; the colourful "cock of the rock", with its red Mohican; and the hoatzin, a prehistoric-looking creature with claws on its wings."

The Quiet South American
Guardian Unlimited
November 18, 2006
"There's a sign at Guyana's airport that welcomes you to 'The world's last undiscovered natural paradise.' I barely noticed it on my outbound journey. By the time I returned to get my flight home, I was sure Guyana has more right than any other country in the world to make such a claim." >>Full Article
