Getting there

Car

If you are traveling by car from the Mazaruni River region, head towards the town of Bartica. You can take the road leading to Bartica, which is approximately a 1-hour drive. Once in Bartica, you will need to take the Bartica to Iwokrama road. The final stretch to Iwokrama Forest is about 2 hours. Ensure your vehicle is suitable for rough terrain, as the last part of the journey may involve unpaved roads. Keep an eye on your fuel levels, as there are limited fuel stations along the way.

Public Transportation

To reach Iwokrama Forest via public transportation, start by taking a minibus from Mazaruni River to Bartica. The ride usually costs around GYD 1000-1500 and takes about 1 hour. Once in Bartica, look for local transportation options (such as shared taxis or minibuses) that can take you to Iwokrama Forest. Confirm the fare with the driver beforehand, as it can vary. This leg of the journey will take approximately 2 hours.

Boat

For a more adventurous route, consider taking a boat from Bartica to Iwokrama Forest. Boats can be hired from the Bartica waterfront. This journey offers a unique perspective of the river and surrounding nature, but it's essential to negotiate the price with the boat operator. Expect to pay between GYD 3000-5000 per person, depending on the size of the boat and number of passengers. The boat ride will take around 2 to 3 hours, depending on water conditions.
