We’ll visit the coast before flying over hundreds of miles of unbroken forest into the country’s interior at Lethem.

The productive savannas of the Rupununi support range-restricted species such as Rio Branco Antbird and Hoary-throated Spinetail, and large mammals such as the elegant Giant Anteater.
