This week I had the privilege of traveling across the Rupununi. It is an experience that every Guyanese should have at least once. The beautiful savannahs and grand mountain ranges are incomparable to any other space I have seen in this country. The Central Rupununi savannahs, North Rupununi savannahs and South Rupununi savannahs, are a paradise of biodiversity. The Kanuku Mountains seem to kiss the clouds and the land seems endless. What makes it even more beautiful is that much of it is undisturbed by the interventions and inventions of man, thus remaining how nature carved it to be, effortlessly display the beauty of Guyana’s largest region.
For a visitor to Region Nine from a busy city like Georgetown, the air breathes new life into you. Where there is noise in your spirit, it calms you. The peace and quiet compels you to stop, observe, and listen.
