A paradise, A place to always remember

Guyana, a land of rich history, a land of diverse culture. Settled on first by the Dutch there still remains many relics of their establishment. Then followed by the Spaniards, the French and most significantly the British. It is because of the colonization of Guyana or at that time know as British Guiana which has made it the only English speaking country in South America.


   Guyana in the time of the British rule was mostly producing sugar which was a very lucrative market, thus in order to produce this product the British needed extensive labor, cheap labour. Because of this reason, the infamous slave trade came about. Slave trading provided cheap labor to plantation owners. These slaves were treated harshly, underfed and over worked. Once the slave trade was abolished in 1838. The British sought labor from the continent of Asia specifically from India.


    Guyana has since come a far way, it has gained its independence and has moved on from colonization. It is a nature haven with rain forest, lakes. rivers and a vast variety of wild life. The people of Guyana is very hospitable and kind. with such a fantastic combination of history and natural resources Guyana is recognized as vacations paradise.
