Blood-coloured Woodpecker and White-bellied Piculet can also be found here, however, the Botanical Gardens are not a reliable site for these species and we will count ourselves fortunate to find them here. We will drive to the internal airport at nearby Ogle and fly over the Demerara and Essequibo Rivers and hundreds of miles of unbroken tropical rainforest to land at the main town in Southern Guyana, Lethem. After a late lunch, we will do some local birding around Lethem by vehicle and on foot. More

the highly localised Blood-coloured Woodpecker, Crimson Topaz, Pompadour Cotinga, Capuchinbird, Sungrebe, Sunbittern and White-winged Potoo... even the formidable Harpy Eagle, if we are very lucky! And although mammals are invariably trickier to see, Giant Anteater, Giant Otter, Guianan Red Howler Monkey, Black Spider Monkey and Brazilian Tapir are among many exciting possibilities. Our tour visits the coastal plain, rare sand-belt forest habitats, seemingly limitless pristine rainforests of the interior and the Rupununi savanna close to the Brazilian border. More
