Kamarapa Creek: A Road Less Travelled

The rarely-travelled Kamarapa Creek in Region Nine is home to serene falls and rich biodiversity.

Entering the creek from the Rupununi River is an adventure. Just beyond the creek entrance a thick mass of vegetation sprawls across the width of the creek, piling up more than 10 feet high.

Navigating through the creek reveals thick bush and towering Mora trees.   There is also the Paima Falls where Kamarapa makes its last drop from the mountains and joins the continually meandering creek.

At Kamarapa, explorers can enjoy refreshing baths in the creek and discover the natural habitats that thrive there. (Photos by Matt Hallett)
