Getting there

Car

If you are driving from Lethem, head north on the main road (the Takutu Road) for approximately 80 km until you reach the Kurupukari Crossing.

For travelers using public transportation, take a minibus from Lethem to the Kurupukari Crossing. Minibuses depart frequently from the Lethem bus park and the journey takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. Upon arrival at Kurupukari Crossing, you may need to hire a taxi or arrange a pickup in advance with Iwokrama River Lodge, as it is approximately a 10-minute drive from the crossing to the lodge. Expect to pay around GYD 2000 to 3000 for a taxi ride.

Boat

If you are adventurous and wish to arrive by boat, you can arrange a boat ride from the nearby communities along the Essequibo River. This option requires prior planning and coordination with local guides or the lodge itself. Prices may vary depending on the distance and the size of the boat, typically starting around GYD 5000 per person.
