Moruca is home to a number of Guyana’s fascinating ecotourism wonders: numerous bird species, endangered turtles, glimpses of other wildlife species native to the collection of communities that constitute the Moruca sub-region, and meandering waterways that harbour little marvels of their own.
The village of Moruca, Region One, is a centre of scintillating beauty and community cohesion. It has a police station, hospital, post office and a cluster of shops, and speed boat services.
Breathtaking boat rides in and around Moruca would help you connect with the people and nature. The people are welcoming and nature is lush so mark your calendar for the upcoming Moruca Expo set for July 21.
Santa Rosa, located in Moruca, is a collection of small islands that are distinct in the rainy season when the savannah floods, but linked by paths and bridges in the dry season.
The boat ride into Santa Rosa from Charity is comfortable and well worth the time. Sail up the mouth of the Pomeroon, up the coast, then back inland up the Moruca river through a tunnel of trees with immense roots later opening into savannah with floating reed beds and trees where the boatmen speed over vegetation mats.
Moruca is a beautiful village, very quiet and peaceful and ideal for nature walks, swimming, canoeing and boat rides.
