Surprisingly different of what you would expect to find in this tropical country, the landscape of West Demerara is flat and full with canals and sluices.
The coastal area is the surprise of the country, and looks much like the Netherlands. Which is, upon a second thought, not so strange. When the Dutch went to Guyana in the 17th century, they established colonies on the coastal areas and quickly realized that this land shared some characteristics with their home country. They constructed water irrigation systems, ingenuous ways to regulate water in- and outflow using so-called kokers, and a defensive sea wall against the mighty Atlantic Ocean. While there is much to see and do in the large part of Guyana that fulfills your expectations of this attractive country, visiting the coastal areas is equally interesting. Once you cross the pontoon bridge (one of the longest of its kind worldwide) taking you from Georgetown to Vreed en Hoop on the westbank, or West Demerara as it is called, you enter a landscape that could well be Dutch at first sight.
