The Rupununi, one of the last great wilderness areas on the planet, is a biological treasure trove, with a level of species-richness on par with that of all of western Amazonia.
Since the 17th century when Sir Walter Raleigh was convinced that the Rupununi was the location of the mythical El Dorado, this remarkable area has captured the imaginations of explorers and naturalists.
And El Dorado lives on. Travelling from Yupukari, Rupununi – more than 45 minutes of expansive landscape – there lies, among the beauty of Guyana’s interior savannah, El Dorado.
It is a picturesque location in the Rupununi savannahs decorated with the calm waters of Lake Amucu and teeming with biodiversity.
As the sun sets, El Dorado shines. It is a view that will take your breath away! Exploring El Dorado offers an unforgettable journey. (Photos by Rupununi Learners Inc)
