Republic of Guyana
Location: On the northern coast of the South American continent bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the north, Brazil to the southwest, Suriname to the east and Venezuela to the northwest.
It is the only English-speaking country of South America. Since Guyana gained its independence in 1966, the country's chief economic assets have been its natural resources, mainly its pristine rainforests, sugarcane plantations, rice fields, and bauxite and gold reserves.
Guyana adopts much of the culture and tradition of the Caribbean but brings with it its own unique landscape and customs. While it may not harbor the pristine, sandy beaches of many of its counterparts, what it does offer is much more in terms of dizzying waterfalls, intense wildlife and stunning plains.
Guyana also known as the world's largest single drop waterfall by water volume. Located on the Potaro River in the Kaieteur National Park, it sits in a section of the Amazon rainforest included in the Potaro-Siparuni region of Guyana..
