This region is anchored by Linden, Guyana's second-largest city and former bauxite mining capital, where visitors can explore mining heritage at the Linden Museum of Socio-Cultural Heritage and witness the transformation of old mining pits into the serene Watooka Lake. Nature enthusiasts will find paradise in the Iwokrama Rainforest's northern reaches, home to rare wildlife like giant otters and harpy eagles. The region's unique appeal lies in its dramatic contrasts: the Demerara River provides both transportation routes and fishing opportunities, while the sprawling rainforest offers world-class birdwatching and eco-tourism. Don't miss the chance to visit the historic Rockstone area for river fishing or explore Amerindian communities maintaining traditional lifestyles. Upper Demerara-Berbice represents Guyana's economic backbone while preserving incredible natural treasures just hours from Georgetown.","Left","Type A, B, D, G; 110V/220V, 60Hz (dual voltage common, adapters recommended)",[19,22,25,28],{"key":20,"value":21},"Police","911",{"key":23,"value":24},"Ambulance","913",{"key":26,"value":27},"Fire","912",{"key":29,"value":30},"Tourist Police","227-2222",[32,35,38,41,44],{"key":33,"value":34},"Do I need a visa to visit Region 10?","Visa requirements depend on your nationality.
