arahaa Landing camp is an exciting hammock camp located on the banks of the Burro Burro River, three miles from Surama EcoLodge in North Rupununi. In a large clearing of the dense jungle, there is a large, open benab for hanging hammocks; a smaller adjacent benab has a table and cooking area where food is prepared over an open fire. It is a basic set-up but the permanent structure provides good shelter for anyone wishing to experience a night camping in the jungle without roughing it too much. Staying overnight at the camp also allows visitors to experience night walks through the jungle, and late evening and very early morning canoe trips on the river, when the animals and birds are most active. For birding enthusiasts, it is a great location for spotting some of Guyana’s famed birds. Carahaa Landing camp offers a great experience in the heart of the jungle. (Information by Kirk Smock)
