Possibly the most unexplored city in the Caribbean, Georgetown is a pleasant reminder of the country’s commitment to nature. The city is filled with lush green gardens that attract a variety of birds; some you may not even have seen or heard of before. The scenic landscape of Georgetown is a visual treat but that is not the only thing that this city has to offer. The coming together of so many different cultures have greatly influenced the culinary scene of the city. Georgetown delights travelers with its lip smacking food but one dish that remains the highlight is the national dish of Guyana, Guyanese Pepperpot. The dish takes several hours to cook and is so delish that the locals reserve it for special occasions or festivals.
Staying true to its tag of being a Caribbean city, Guyana has a vibrant nightlife. The city hosts absolutely crazy parties on weekends which don’t die out till the break of the dawn. There is also a very prominent reggae culture. So, if you love music, then you’re in for a good time as you can easily catch live reggae performances in the city. To not put a stop to your good times, try the local brewed Guyanese wine in the city as well. Hop on a last minute flight to Georgetown and explore some literally unexplored locations.
