Stretching south from the Pakaraima mountains, the Rupununi is an endless savannah interspersed with rivers, whose banks are lined with gallery forest. The southern part of the Rupununi is the wildest, most remote and least developed part of the vast grasslands, and any trip here is a guaranteed adventure. Accommodation is in local homesteads, often ranches run by authentic cowboys. Aside from the local characters who are happy to share their traditions, travellers can hope to spot giant anteaters and giant otters, hike to local waterfalls, and enjoy the rich birdlife of this wilderness.
