The Mashabo Amerindian community, located several miles aback Huist T’Dieren village on the Essequibo Coast, is a small village rich in agriculture.
Villagers clear once forested land to plant the area with bitter cassava. The village has become self-sufficient in the production of cassava bread and cassareep. The village is also involved in chicken-rearing.
Visitors can get a firsthand experience on how the residents survive on what Mother Nature provides and learn about their rich indigenous traditions.
Notably, the watery trails add to the adventure at Mashabo. It is a refreshing adventure for nature lovers. (Photos by Marco Basir.
