Caledonia on the East Bank Demerara is a village that is sparsely populated by people, but home to a variety of fauna living in its areas of untouched vegetation, but also in captivity at Tropical Flora and Fauna Inc, which exports birds, mammals and reptiles.
If you’re travelling from Georgetown, the journey to Caledonia takes approximately 40 minutes, but it is no more than 15 minutes’ drive from the Cheddi Jagan International Airport at Timehri. It is said that Caledonia was once much larger, encompassing from the beginning of Coverden and going as far as Craig.
