Upcoming Tour: Essequibo River Jungle Trip

The Wildtales Inc.

Home Expeditions 2.0

Expeditions into a jungle still being mapped.

Lost waterfalls. Ancient mountains above the forest. Hidden caves rarely seen by outsiders. This is the side of Guyana we explore.

Where the map still has blanks.

In 2024, our team travelled with Patamona guides into a remote cave system in the Pakaraima Mountains containing remarkable ancient rock art known only through local knowledge and oral history.

Experiences like this shape how we approach expeditions in Guyana. Not as sightseeing tours, but as journeys into landscapes that remain deeply connected to the people who live there.

Travel by river, forest trail, and mountain route alongside Indigenous guides whose families have moved through these regions for generations. These are expeditions built around genuine access, remote environments, and the experience of going far beyond the ordinary.

We all have a reason

INTO THE WILD

Travel remote mountains, rainforest rivers, wildlife rich wetlands, Indigenous communities, and deep jungle expeditions across Guyana.

What to expect

Every expedition is shaped by the realities of the rainforest, shifting rivers, remote terrain, small teams, and the experience of travelling far beyond conventional tourism.

PEOPLE WHO KNOW THIS FOREST

Led alongside Indigenous guides, trackers, boatmen, and expedition staff whose families have travelled these rivers and forests for generations.

REMOTE WILDLIFE ENCOUNTERS

Harpy eagles above camp. Giant river otters beside the canoe. Jaguar tracks on the riverbank. Wildlife here is not fenced or staged.

REAL EXPEDITION TRAVEL

Travel by dugout canoe, jungle trails, mountain routes, and remote rivers where flexibility and adaptability are part of the experience.

SKILLS THAT STAY WITH YOU

Learn practical rainforest skills including fire lighting, river travel, fishing, campcraft, navigation, and traditional knowledge from local guides.

SAFETY IN REMOTE ENVIRONMENTS

Every expedition is backed by experienced leadership, satellite communications, medical planning, and structured emergency procedures.

COMMUNITY LED EXPERIENCES

Our expeditions operate in partnership with Indigenous communities across Guyana, ensuring tourism directly supports local knowledge and livelihoods.
