I am a guyanese and those things they do is really easy for me but when I moved to america, I think the work here became 1000 times harder. Proud Guyanese❤❤❤ Good job BERGERS FAMILY.
This is probably one of the most beautiful exchange and sharing of customs that I have seen in a very long time. I am from Guyana, never visited the interior, except for going to the airport, but I can see how beautiful it is and I really commend the families for doing this and sharing it with the world. More Americans should open themselves to the cultures of other people, and not just criticize it. Get the know the world and the people in it.
Beautiful Guyana. I was born in Guyana, grew up on the coastal area Had a similar childhood..livestock..farming..Move to the US about 35 years ago..got educated here, about to retire...always dreaming of my childhood...were very poor, just struggling to survive yet the experience was great.
Man I live in Guyana and this would be an adventure for me. lol. This is the interior where mostly natives and miners live. The rest of the country lives in normal homes, shop in supermarkets, stream videos from all over the world ( love Netflix), have air-conditioning for the heat, malls for shopping and every other modern convenience just like the US. The youth are also very addicted to Instagram , Facebook and Twitter 😀. There are very poor parts of Guyana but even they have access to the basics of electricity , roads , water and supermarkets to buy food. The native indians in the US and Canada and not much better
I would move back home in the interior in a heartbeat and live there very happily among my people being here in the United States it's very stressful very hard and difficult back home it would be a walk in the park
Honestly our country is the best. You are so right North America is too dam stressful. I grew up in the country and did not have nothing like stress until i came to north America.
I just watched this am guyanese born ...but been living in queens nyc for 20 yrs now and I can't do what the did if I see a chicken getting killed I'll puke ...btw great vid don't forget about the Charlies!
Baramita is a beautiful place to visit in Region 1. Friendliness of its inhabitants and the vast Amerindian cuisine will delight your palate, as well as the enjoyment of the incredible forests and rivers of that Guyanese town.
Nice film....well made. This is in the interior region of Guyana, away from the city. Good adventure for the kids. There were moments when this had to be tough for them. Especially watching the bull being killed. Quite risky place to be should there be an accident whereby someone became injured. I am sire you guys had medical first aid etc. But overall quite risky for the kids, falling off a horse, or being bitten by a snake. Glad that it ended well. Again, I enjoyed the video.
I guess all precautions were made for any accidents. Thank God, nothing happened. I have stayed at a fairly posh resort that were on acres of land which were beautifully landscaped on one of the Caribbean islands and a snake was sighted crawling across the front of the lobby where I would have sat while waiting for the golf cart. So they could be anywhere. And that was not in a jungle. That is why I never stay on the ground floor.
Who told you Guyana was a bad place? Guyana is a wonderful place with relatively friendly people. These foreigners are using first impressions to paint a bad picture of Guyana
A great experience for a family accustomed to all the amenities and gadgets that make life in an affluent society so easy that they have lost their survival skills in a natural environment. If a world crisis should occur in the near future the youths and even adults in affluent societies will not be able to make it through. This family is now better off with this experience and exposure they have had.👍
Because, it would have defeated the purpose of the trip. The mother wanted to do an adventure trip, not a trip of comfort in a posh home or hotel with everything like home. I am sure they benefitted something from it in the end.
It’s an experience for kids with urban comforts. That way the would better appreciate life and don’t wait to be told to clean their rooms or help parents with chores
We sometimes think that we have it hard. Guess what. Everything is packaged nicely in the supermarket. People in some parts of the world don't realize how easy life is for them and I guess we should stop complaining. This is a good lesson for kids. They have gotten too used to all the high tech gadgets and easy living. I also think the dad was a sad case. A man is supposed to be tough. In the end the kids learned to accept things and stopped moping. Nice video.
I’d give anything to live like that. I would draw the line at killing animals as I’m vegan but to keep my family fed, that would be left up to the other half. I do wanna visit Guyana though.
Narrator at beginning makes you feel like all of Guyana is like that . Truth is that's only one town in Guyana where approximately 1,200 persons live and a handful of that number lives like that. That like going to an Indian reservation in US and saying that that's how all of the US is. Come on NatGeo..
PEOPLES THAT LIVES WHERE THEY HAVE ELECTRIC STOVE, GAS STOVE ETC, ETC, LIKE THE U.S, CANADA, ENGLAND, FRANCE ETC, FAST FOOD, WITH RESPECT, THEY ARE WHAT LAZY NOT THEIR TO BE BLAMED, YOUR PARENTS CANNOT WIPE YOUR ASS, THEY HAVE MAIDS ETC, WE HAD MAIDS TOO I WERE LIVING IN THE EAST COAST OF DEMERARA. WE CAN NEVER FAT TALK TO OUR PARENTS OR SOMEONE IN THE STREETS, ETC THAT'S WHY U.S. CANADA ETC, SHOULD TAKES THEIR KIDS TO GUYANA, OTHERS COUNTRIES LETTING HAVE THE EXPERIENCES ETC, TO KNOW WHAT EASY WORKS LOOKS LIKE. LOL, WHEN YOUR PARENTS TOLD YOU & I TO DO IT, LET WE ANT DO, YOU WILL HAVE A BEATEN PLUS HAVE TO COMPLETED IT.
I love watching National Geographic videos but this one was extremely too poorly produced considering many things like it was done in 2017, with a beautiful American family not even giving them an opportunity to visit places like Lethem, Georgetown, Essequibo, Linden, New Amsterdam, Bartica, the East Coast of Demerara, West Coast of Berbice, West Coast of Demerara, Linden Highway, large International Hotels, Night Clubs, Restaurants & the US Embassy just to name a few where people are living in luxury some of whom are living a life more than the American Dream. The Charlie Family is talented farmers & they decided to live in the Rupununi Savannah. Jim Jones & his followers were all US Citizens living in the jungle in the North West District so what he did to his own brothers & sisters made United States looks bad. His story didn't, "Tarnished Guyana International Reputation." This video also only reflects what life is in the Rupununi Savannah. It doesn't reflect what life is elsewhere in Guyana also known as British Guiana. I give credit to the Charlie & Berger Families. God Bless them. They've beautiful children. I was happy to see them united & helping each other to get their tasks done. Thank you for sharing.
Imagine a son seeing his mom as the brave leader in the family and calling his father a wimp for the whole world to see. Caucasian men have lost their place in the way of things. Except for that protected status, they will not survive. When the power goes out what will this family do?
guyana is jim jones ...he says "yikes """ guess thats what happens if you let in an american cult leader... the people and the leader were all americans ...so yeah keep your yik to yourself
I am a guyanese and those things they do is really easy for me but when I moved to america, I think the work here became 1000 times harder.
Proud Guyanese❤❤❤
Good job BERGERS FAMILY.
I lived in Kwakwani, Berbice River, from 1979-1983. I love everything about Guyana and still have very good friends that I’m in touch with.

Was born in Guyana but I grew up in the city but we still did without a lot of stuff. I moved to the U.S and now appreciate more where I came from!
Love my ppl Amerindian babeh born n raised then relocate but Im still able to do what they were doing it's in my blood ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇾🇬🇾
Lisa Beharry,are you Amerindian?
Hi
Happy to see American family being able to appreciate our way of life and just leveling criticism
Beautiful Guyana. I was born in Guyana, grew up on the coastal area
Had a similar childhood..livestock..farming..Move to the US about 35 years ago..got educated here, about to retire...always dreaming of my childhood...were very poor, just struggling to survive yet the experience was great.
I love my guyan... no matter where I go guyan is and will always be in my heart.
Nice, learning different cultures is a great accomplishment

lloyd mitchell says

I would move back home in the interior in a heartbeat and live there very happily among my people being here in the United States it's very stressful very hard and difficult back home it would be a walk in the park

😂😂nice! I used to run to catch a chicken for my mom at my house in Haiti😍. Caribbean countries are only eat organic foods.
That was one heck of an experience. I can remember going to the abattoir in KItty. When I was young I thought the whole process was interesting.

After reading your comment, I was able to write a little comment also. Please read my comment & feel free to add any point needed. Thank you.
Cruelty
Guyana is a huge sparsely populated country with a lot of diversity, a lot more than in Barbados where I live.
"Punishing Toll?" Really? I grew up there; it was enjoyable.
Cowboys of Guyana? Didnt know guyana had cowboys lol
Not surprised
A great experience for a family accustomed to all the amenities and gadgets that make life in an affluent society so easy that they have lost their survival skills in a natural environment. If a world crisis should occur in the near future the youths and even adults in affluent societies will not be able to make it through. This family is now better off with this experience and exposure they have had.👍
Chris Prashad not really.. just cause they re living temporarily among chicken doesn’t make them survival experts
SqL S experience is much more valuable than theory.
I will like to know what steps to take to know how to make a trip to this part of GUYANA
It feel good too see this side of the Guyana because you don't get to see this everyday.
have the nyc's couple episode set in namibia?
Please make the information about VISITING GUYANA ESPECIALLY AMONG THE FIRST NATIVE GUYANESE
Legal seu vídeo , isto e a realidade dos povos do mundo.parabens
We can learn from this amerindian family
amazing trip
This was beautiful.
what year was this?
Very interested
Nice documentary
Christopher Charlie is my grandfather
What year was this actually done ?
😮 these poor American family, what a culture shock. Why they choose to go there and not in the capital Georgetown
Because, it would have defeated the purpose of the trip. The mother wanted to do an adventure trip, not a trip of comfort in a posh home or hotel with everything like home. I am sure they benefitted something from it in the end.
It’s an experience for kids with urban comforts. That way the would better appreciate life and don’t wait to be told to clean their rooms or help parents with chores
They heard getting robbed was less likely to happen in the interior.
HELLOW, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR THE AMERICANS TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE FIRST NATIVE PEOPLE OF GUYANA
It’s pretty hot there! Would love to know where in Guyana cause there are no neighbours.
Its in the South American
I am from Guyana but lives in Toronto for 37 years
Oh Gosh killing that Cow ugh that was awful!!! RIP #beautifulCow... I wish I was born a vegetarian!!!
THESES AMERICANS MUST BE CONGRATULATED FOR THEIR BRAVERY

So the WORLD CAN VISIT GUYANA
Its pronounced Guy-ana not ghana
Oh my, they did not say a prayer before butcher the cow
I’d give anything to live like that. I would draw the line at killing animals as I’m vegan but to keep my family fed, that would be left up to the other half. I do wanna visit Guyana though.

Come on NatGeo..
Its very sad in the ending
Thanks for sharing...
That is a lie thats only a small part of Guyana
PEOPLES THAT LIVES WHERE THEY HAVE ELECTRIC STOVE, GAS STOVE ETC, ETC, LIKE THE U.S, CANADA, ENGLAND, FRANCE ETC, FAST FOOD, WITH RESPECT, THEY ARE WHAT LAZY NOT THEIR TO BE BLAMED, YOUR PARENTS CANNOT WIPE YOUR ASS, THEY HAVE MAIDS ETC, WE HAD MAIDS TOO I WERE LIVING IN THE EAST COAST OF DEMERARA.

Classic moments
