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.
Whether you arrive by air or by road, you cannot help but wonder at the landscape of coastal Guyana. Is this the country of the rainforest? Is this the country with few inhabitants? Is this the country of rivers teeming with caimans, jaguars and macaws? The landscape is flat as a pancake, neatly organized with straight canals, dykes, and sluices, with one village after the other. Many of them have names like Uitvlugt or Weltevreeden - not the kind of exotic names you would expect here. Much of this land lies under sea level, and if you are here when a flood hits the country, you will immediately see the consequences.
