Blue waters turn to brown as one approaches the Guyanan coastline, and brown waters assume darker hues as you journey inward along the rivers and creeks. Black waters have their own dark, brooding serenity, even as blue waters have a gaiety and beauty all their own.
Black waters are an important part of the tourist discovery of Guyana.
Kaieteur, Orinduik, Andu and Great Falls are all part of the majestic chain of cascades that have enchanted and mystified explorers, travelers and tourists from as early as the nineteenth century. Kaieteur, for example, has generated in travelers feeling akin to mystic awe and reverence. Its beauty has been described as distant and inaccessible. Orinduik, on the other hand, has been regarded as the more 'accessible' of the two falls, a natural jacuzzi for the adventurous traveler. Guyana boasts a number of nature resorts where an intimate experience with nature can be had for as long as you wish.
