Discover the Majestic Cataratas Sakaika

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from the town of Bartica. Head west on the Bartica-Potaro Road (also known as the Bartica-Linden Road) for about 58 kilometers until you reach the junction at Ekereku. Turn left onto the Ekereku Road and continue for approximately 30 kilometers. As you approach the village of Ekereku, keep an eye out for signs indicating the direction to Cataratas Sakaika. Once in Ekereku, follow local signage or ask for directions, as the final section may require navigating unpaved roads. Ensure your vehicle is suitable for rough terrain, and consider the potential for muddy conditions during rain. Parking may be available near the entrance to the waterfall area.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, you can take a minibus from Bartica to Ekereku. The minibuses typically leave from the Bartica bus park and cost around GYD 1,000 to 1,500 per person. The journey takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Once you arrive in Ekereku, you can ask local residents for directions to Cataratas Sakaika, as the waterfall is a well-known attraction in the area. Depending on the distance from the minibus drop-off point, you may need to walk or hire a local taxi to reach the falls. It's advisable to carry cash for any local transportation.

• Local Guide

  Consider hiring a local guide once in Ekereku, especially if you are unfamiliar with the area. Local guides can provide transportation to Cataratas Sakaika, often using motorcycles or all-terrain vehicles, and can charge around GYD 2,000 to 5,000 per person depending on the distance and duration of the trip. This option not only ensures you reach the destination safely but also enhances your experience with local knowledge and insights about the region.
