DEGetting To And Around
Access Acarai Mountains via air with connectivity to Georgetown. Regional buses and boat services on the Corentyne River are also available.
Air
The easiest way to access the Acarai Mountains is to charter a small plane from the Eugene F. Correia International Airport in Georgetown to the small airstrip in Gunns. It is also possible to fly into airstrips in the South Rupununi or Lethem and overland from there. Whether you wish to fly or overland, you will need permission from the Wai Wai to visit their titled lands. Travelling with Bushmasters, Rupununi Trails or Wilderness Explorers is the best bet for securing permission.
Road
Regional buses, private minibuses and 4x4 vehicles can get you closest to Acarai Mountains from one of the surrounding villages. Bushmasters or link Rupununi Trails would be able to advise you as to the best option based on your budget and the time you have available.
River
You can travel along the Corentyne River to meet to the base of the mountain. Though this is a rarely travelled route, river expeditions are available through Rupununi Trails.
THINGS TO SEE & DO
Exploring Konashen Community-Owned Conservation Area
Konashen is a community-owned protected area that is considered by many to be one of the least disturbed pristine frontier rainforests on the planet. It is difficult to access, the population of the Wai Wai custodians of the protected area is relatively small, and few outsiders are permitted to visit. The cultural experiences and wildlife, birding, rafting, and hiking are all extraordinary.
