Day 4 – 6: In the interior

The Iwokrama rainforest in the heart of Guyana covers over 3.700 km² and counts as one of the world’s last four pristine tropical forests. Our tour through the interior starts here and we are immediately overwhelmed by the abundance of different species.

We experience our first rain in the rainforest – and it’s quite something! However, today we’ve set our sights high and are aiming for Turtle Mountain and a canopy walkway. So called sustainable logging and gold-digging are threatening the forest.

We’re witnesses of unbelievable hunting scenes and try to catch a black caiman in the dark.
