Our 10 day trip through Guyana starts here in the capital of Georgetown!
This was an incredible trip to one of the least visited countries in the world. We started in Georgetown and got the chance to try to make the famous Seven Curry, with Singing Chef Adventures. Then we went to the National Park to find the manatees, before finally ending up along the river for sunset.
From exploring the Amazon basin, to finding a harpies eagle nest, to staying in community eco lodges and finally flying to Kaiteur Falls - Guyana is a country to add your list.
Special thanks to Wilderness Explorers for the incredible itinerary - wilderness-explorers.com/

Huge thanks to @jonny.melon for the extra drone footage.

Videos like these make us all thankful for life. Guyana has always been a hidden gem to the world and for you to highlight the culture and landscape is super powerful. Keep up the good footage and respect to you and your staff. 592 is the place to be…
Oh beautiful Guyana My lovely Native Land, so happy you enjoyed your visit
We visited Georgetown about a month ago. My GF is from there and we visit her mom every few years. Guyana have its many charms and we enjoy it every time we visit. It's interesting to see a country that NO one really cared about until the discover of BIG OIL. Now all these "Ambassadors" from other countries mainly the US and major companies want a part of Guyana. We stayed at the Marriot and it was teaming with nothing but people from the oil industry and foreign investors. Although the oil is helping with the building of new infrastructure it will also change the charms that is Guyana into just another clone of any US city. There is already talk about Starbucks entering Georgetown not to mention that multibillion dollar gated resort that will be built for all the RIch Foreign oil C.E.Os and investors... Great Video by the way.
Exactly what I am saying. Since the discovery of oil in 2018, it's Guyana this and Guyana that. The same country so many Americans knew about but dis not want to visit because it was only know for the Jonestown tragedy. Which of course was a Caucasian American that went there and our people allowed him to do nonsense. Funny how things can turn
I understand ...y'all can remain in the shit and misery...without any future. I passed by Guyana in 2016 ...it was like being in a wild land no rules, corruption and workers in construction site wearing flip-flops and shorts... people playing music on the road so loud as if everyone would be deaf...no sidewalks at all....no construction codes.. i can say more...people driving with only one rule in mind: Create your one line. I came back 2020....now construction workers started wearing safety boots, vest, ...looks like all those "Ambassadors" are teaching y'all how to be more civilized.
@@reymillan4452 not their place to tell others how to live, how many times do u need to learn this…this one of the last pristine environments in the world, your “civilizing” will come with pollution and deforestation. Hard hats and boots are hardly a good trade off to build infrastructure for foreign interests that will barely kick back to local economy. So why not keep passing by, take it for what it is and go back home to where u feel everything is done to your standard
@@arondon5739 Dont worry. I dont care how they live and obviously I would not stay. thats exactly why i said that if they dont want progress and a better economy for everybody (it comes through foreign investment cause they dont have a penny) its ok. Its their choice. but then, dont complain about no having a proper healthcare system, poor education, terrible infrastructure or a having a life expectancy under the average in the continent etc. Second, wearing Hardhats and boots is about safety and protecting your life so you can keep proving for you family.Its about quality of life, its about progress. Other than that is stupidity
@@reymillan4452 say whatever you feel like but we were never living in any misery. Mind you bloody business and you don't have to go back. No one needs you there nor I'd begging you to come so stay in your lane and mind your business. For you to even day something means you are guilty of something. Did we come and ask you to come and visit our do called grass land! At least we not shooting and killing each other daily. We are happy despite what other so called countries that has it all calls us. As far as construction workers wearing flip flops show us the proof because I have never seen any construction workers in Guyana with flip flops. Our country may not be known but our people have standards and values. We falue family. You don't have to come back
The home of my birth...😍🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾. This is by far the BEST video I've seen of Guyana.
So beautiful enjoy the fresh food and fruits enjoy our beautiful country Guyana 🇬🇾 thank you so much for visiting sending love ❤️
The last time I visited Guyana was in 1971. I am now fifty years older, and 4,284 miles away from Guyana. The country has changed over the decades, and is now in the years of prosperity.
Thanks for showcasing my beautiful Guyana 🇬🇾!
Thank you for visiting our beautiful country ❤️ 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
I am from Guyana. But that's a different 7 curries from what I know. The original 7 curries is made up of
Dhall and Rice with pumpkin curry. bagee curry. Katahar curry. Boulanger curry . eddoe curry. channa curry. mango curry. With some mango chutney.
Potato/ Aloo Curry
Yes traditional navratri dish of rural India
Katahar curry with puri with some nice bagee and fresh achar…yes!!!
But also Watrash and Iguana…Iguana is soo good with fresh ground coconut curry
Agreed
@@avitadanraj8033 aloo with the channa together.
Love my country with my whole being, you represented it well , thank you 🇬🇾🇬🇾
Our family have been in Guyana Mining company where my husband worked as company doctor before, we enjoyed our 3 year stay there. People are friendly… its here where i learned to eat and cook curry and roti..
Oh my gosh, not him sitting there pounding masala. I remember dem days. Sad how our beautiful country has been in the dark all these years! Amazing what finding oil can do
My relatives were in BG/Guyana. it was our Go-To Vacation spot in the 1950s to 1960s, because it was a cheap vacation. After Independence, it fell into shadow. Now, Oil has illuminated the country.
@@shqa574 hmmm mmm and drawing the wrong crowd. Sometimes it is better to remain unknown.
Love the market.. the food is total organic!!
My aunt would ride her bicycle to Bourda Market, to buy provisions, etc. I might have visited there once, while on vacation.
Thank you for visiting and showcasing our little gem on the coast of South America and where I call Home 🙏🏾 🇬🇾
I love seeing these types of people since I'm of Guyanese descent and 1st gen American
The Guyanese people are very loving...just not around elections time

Ayo fr budday

Thanks for making this vid - looks like you had an amazing time! As a first gen Guyanese-America born in Texas, I really appreciate you showcasing the country. I visited Kaieteur in 2009 and can't wait to go back!
Oh my! That curry looks fantastic! Guyanese and Trinidadians know how to really throw down when it comes to curry! 😍

Nice vid. U showcase my country well . Lots of food to try. 7 curry is mostly cooked as a Indian wedding house food.
Thank u for visiting our beautiful country and showcasing our culture there's lots more to discover
Thanks for what? Giving out wrong info on the country
and
Getting a black rasta person person, in Georgetown of all places to make Indian/Hindu religious food?
Zoch Buppet: Why don’t you take a hike. Always something to gripe about. Guyana is a cosmopolitan country and we integrate each other’s culture and cuisine.
@@clairmontehughes8067 Its food made for a religious occasion. what is it most people dont understand about that?
Beautiful Guyana 🇬🇾
The cathedral is pretty. Love how their maintaining it! 🥰
as a Guyanese this is so fun ti watch. im going next month
Wow! This video is showing me a side of my Guyanese culture! Thank you so much from Columbia, South Carolina ❤️ My father and paternal Grandmother's home land, as well as my grandfather's residence who was original from the Barbados.
South Carolina beautiful state I am Guyanese I used to live in Rock Hill long time ago now living in New York I deliver for a appliance company call hh Greg in Columbia
This is awesome. Love the video
good job JORD ... AM PLANING TO VISIT GUYANA THIS MONTH ENDING .... I REALLY NEED TO SEE ALL OF THESE THINGS U SHOWED ME ME HERE THANKS FOR THIS VDO
Great vlog.ive never been to Guyana and it's literally my country's neighbours and it's only 1 hour by plane.Thanks for sharing cant believe so little tourists visit Guyana.
Since you're our neighbor, I'd say you're Venezuelian or maybe Brazilian or Surinames😆, the funny thing is I have family from all three of those countries
I love your vlog. Thank you.
Awesome 👌 This makes me want to see Guayana too!
Those birds at evening have awakened some memories!
New Guyana fan here
Thank you for visiting my home country❤❤
Salvador!!... I heard your voice in the video but didn't see your face. Great video presenting our beautiful homeland in a wonderfully positive way. Thank you!!
I agree with the previous comments. You have captured the country so with passion and respect especially as you didn't know what to expect. I await in anticipation for the next episode. Where can I find the recipes for the curries? My last visit to Guyana was in 2020 as I am of Guyanese parentage born in London, but I consider Guyana as my home. Well done.
beautiful, i wanna visit
Guyana is an amazing country. I really want to visit the land of many waters😍
Beautiful video
It's so funny how he never mentioned the original people. Pepperpot the national dish of Guyana, is from the original peoples of the Guyana and The Guianas.
I good pepperpot in a few decades.
Welcome to my beautiful country. Yes indeed every thing is fresh and tasty. Enjoy your stay and be safe.
Thank you 🙏 for visiting and sharing. I love ❤️ my country. #bornguyanese
So because of your video I actually booked a flight and went back home, I spent three weeks and had the most amazing time. your video made me so homesick I just had to go!
OMG i love seven curry! i wish i had some now
Your food looks delicious making me hungry. 👍
Guyana have the best food❤️
Looks like you had a great time. How did u guys organize the sunset tour?
Guyana is very beautiful 😍 miss my families alot
Welcome to the County l hope you enjoyed your stay
Love from London
Goodmorning thank u for showing me guyana i miss my country❤❤😍
iam from guyana nice your video
Food tastes so good in that plate
Born in 🇬🇾 left at early age. Soooo much i missed out on
I’m so happy u visited my country😁
My first impression of Guyana was stepping off the plane at Cheddi Jagan into the off ramp, and instantly catching a humid cattle smell, lol…it was Christmas/New years, and I quickly learned chutney/Soca music will pound all night and day!!!
Welcome to my country brother ❤
Good video
The curries look great.
Been a while since I've watched the "Singing Chef"!
Good job cousin represented Gt well.
We were right, it is a mystical place. Great first day, I love how leaves are used as plates but we didn't know that English is the main language. Also, how random are the manatees? We had to google dugong or Manatees, sounds like a good drinking game.
The manatees aren’t really random they are called West Indian manatees they are there pretty regular. English is what is taught in school. Our official language spoken in the country is creolese (Caribbean English creole) similar to what is spoken in majority of other Caribbean countries like Trinidad,Jamaica,Barbados…etc
Awesome nice to see you were in my country I found your channel on the north Korean vlog 🇬🇾
MY HOME😍👌👍👍
Public comment. Thank you so much for sharing one of the greatest places on earth. Beautiful guyana Amazing. The water nuts tasted wonderful you could try some I am happy you enjoy nature.
The best organic food in the world....
Guyana is an amazing place, you should try the local Chinese food
I miss the Chinese Guyanese food. It tastes better than Asian Chinese foods in America. I am Chinese, born and raised in Trinidad, with Chinese Guyanese parents and relatives.
Hi becareful always be on the lookout 👀
Guyana, our home, our own country.
No way you cut the water lili in front of my house that I haven’t seen in 5 years since I left Guyana
I'm guessing there was a mistake in the edit at around the 2:25 mark but it gives a cool kind of behind the scenes look at how not everything you talk about is done on the first take. Loving the new content!
Thanks man! Just fixed it.
But yeah you're right! That bit took a couple of takes 😉
I hope Guyana remains one of these unknown gems don’t need tourism. The country is rich as it is don’t need tourism to survive
oh man, guyana is home for me!
Respect ✊
