The Ireng River, also known as Rio Mau, forms the border between Guyana and neighbouring Brazil. It is accessible from the Guyana side south of Lethem, located on the border with Brazil.
Boat trips along the Ireng River and its tributary, the Rio Takatu, are ideal for birding enthusiasts and even campers.
Ireng is considered the most picturesque of Guyana’s many rivers. Orinduik Falls and Takagka Falls are some of the waterfalls along the Ireng River. Another spectacular waterfall on the river is the almost 100-metre (close to 330 feet tall) Kurutuik Falls. (Photos copyright to Michael C. Lam. The Michael Lam Collection.com.)
