Accommodation
and Food | Additional Information Description Bartica is a lively town on the Essequibo river with a different atmosphere to the coastal towns of Guyana. Marshall Falls is a picturesque waterfall on the Mazaruni River.
Things To Do
Route Once in Bartica you can arrange for a trip to the falls - ask for “Balkaran” (Tel: 455-2544). He will take you to the falls and Kyk-over-Al, a Dutch fort at the confluence of the Mazaruni and Cuyuni Rivers. The charge for the boat is GUY $10,000 carrying about 8 people. The landing fee at the falls is GUY $500 per person.
Accommodation and Food Zen’s, and Castillo’s are both central and pricey. Castillo’s has a lively bar at night and tends to be noisy. Zen’s is off the High Street and so is quieter. Hotel Modern is cheap, central and clean, although very noisy. All three are close to the main stelling. Hi-Lo Hotel is situated at the far end of the main street (about a 10 minute walk to the main stelling) but it does have a landing opposite if you can persuade the boatman to drop you straight there. It is very clean, quiet and reasonably priced. Take a picnic to eat at Marshall Falls.
