Made entirely of cast iron, it extends into the Demerara River. The Market covers an area 76,728 square feet. Designed and erected by an American engineer Nathaniel McKay, this structure bears the former name of the city of Georgetown. It was opened for business on 1st November, 1881.

Designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield RIBA was named after Saint George, a soldier saint who had been selected by the Norman Kings to be their patron. It is the mother of the Anglican Diocese in Guyana and reputedly the tallest timber church in the world. The Cathedral itself was completed in 1892

Designed by Joseph Hadfield. This brick structure was constructed from 1829 to 1834, rests on a foundation of greenheart logs.

It is a model of 19th century architecture and is one of two domed buildings in the city. Today this building is home to the National Assembly.

Regarded as the most elegant edifice of Georgetown was designed by Father Ignatius Scoles.

It was officially opened on 1 July 1889 by Lord Gormanston the then Govenor.

Originally constructed as an ornamental Garden for Government House, it was extended to its present proportions in 1884. The Garden is laid out in Victorian style without lawns and vistas.

In 1878 American John Frederica Waby arrived in Guyana and spent thirty-five years landscaping one of the finest tropical gardens in this part of the world. Included in this garden is the National Zoo which has a cross-section of most of the country's indigenous animals.

This conical palm thatched structure was erected by one of Guyana's indigenous peoples - the Wai-Wai tribe. Members of this tribe inhabit Guyana's deep interior regions and the Umana Yana is patterned after dwellings in those regions. In fact the word "Umana Yana" comes from the language of the indigenous peoples and means 'meeting place of the people'. The Umana Yana was constructed in 1972 as a V.I.P. lounge for the Non-Aligned Foreign Ministers Conference. It is 55 feet (16.78 metres high) and occupies an area of 460 square metres.

This magnificent water-fall width varies from 250 feet in the dry season to 400 feet in the rainy season. It has a perpendicular drop of 741 feet. Kaieteur is twice as high as Victoria Falls and almost five times as high as Niagra Falls in Canada.

The Ireng River on which this Fall is located thunders over steps and terraces of solid Jasper. However, unlike the mighty Kaieteur this Fall is ideal for swimming and picnicking.

Begins at the Ayanganna Mountain Range in the North Rupununi Savannahs. It extends 140 miles to the Essequibo River. Located on this river are nine water-falls. The most notable are Kaieteur and Tumatumari. A 1930 Suspension Bridge called Garraway Stream Bridge as well as Two Islands are also located on the Potaro river.

This river is 21 miles wide at its estuary and approximately 270 miles long. There are 365 islands located on this River. This is the largest of the three major rivers. The other two are the Demerara River and the Berbice.

This mountain is located in Guyana, Venezuela and Brazil. Guyana's Roraima is 9,094 feet in height and was conquered in 1973.

An unusual outcropping of igneous rock in the South Rupununi Savannahs, it can easily be seen for miles and thus is a well known landmark.

Many regions in Guyana have their own special features, history and character. Those who are familiar with Guyana would readily associate a region with a particular set of attributes. The name Essequibo quickly conjures up images of spectacular waterfalls, rivers and landscapes that stretch to the horizon, rolling rice fields and serene, expansive lakes. The Pomeroon-Supenaam region of the Essequibo county (commonly known as the 'Cinderella County') is awakening to a new identity as 'The Land of the Lakes'.

One of those lakes possesses an almost eerie quality that has been the subject of much local and national speculation, theorizing and legend. That lake is called Ituribisci or the 'hot and cold lake.' It is nature itself gone schizophrenic, waxing hot this minute, then cold the next. It is normal experience for bathers in the lake to find themselves the victim, in an area no wider than 20 metres, of nature's contrasting moods. Essequibians have come to accept this phenomenon as a normal, if mysterious, part of their creation in the lake; rarely even taking the trouble to seek answers to this riddle of nature's moods. But visitors often become giddy with excitement and curiosity, wanting explanations, conjectures, legends, anything that would bring the inexplicable closer to the realm of comprehension.

The lake District of the Pomeroon-Supenaam area also boasts a recreational center in Lake Mainstay - one of the more picturesque and scenic in the 'land of the lakes.' Lake Mainstay is the venue of the annual August Regatta, an event of growing stature in Guyana's calendar of events. Thousands flock to the 'Cinderella County; in the month of August and trek to the Mainstay lakeside for a weekend of daredevil speedboat racing, jet skiing and beach activities. The famous Mainstay Resort spreads elegantly beside the lake, offering comfortable accommodation, fine cuisine and conference facilities. Lake Capoey although differently accessed, is linked to Lake Mainstay and is part of the axis of beauty in the Pomeroon-Supenaam region.

The last lake in the axis is the Tapacooma Lake - an important source of irrigation for the country and a body of water that is as picturesque and soothing to behold as Lake Mainstay.

The lake district of the Pomeroon-Supenaam region is slowly emerging as the tourism hub of the region, supporting a variety of water-based activities and recreations, from speedboat racing at regatta time to bathing and fishing.
