Get in
'''The Guyana/Brazil road:''' The Linden to Lethem roadway is being kept up despite the frequent need for repairs to bridges and hill slides. The road link from Bonfim in the Brazilian state of Roraima to Lethem is the only way to the Guyana Coast. This Guyanese-Venezuela road link, under the aegis of the Integration of Regional Infrastructure of South America (IIRSA) process has been the focus of efforts made by Guyana and a litmus test for reciprocity for continued investment in the relationship by Brazil. The road between the capital of the Brazilian state of Boa Vista and Bonfim has been a top class highway since the late nineties.

Luggage space is very limited so be sure to have the amount of allowable luggage clarified before arrival at the airport. Although this is an internal flight, a passport is required for non-citizens.

Malaria is a concern. Arrive with proper medication and insect repellent.
Sleep
Takutu Hotel:
This is a friendly little establishment. The water may not be hot but the service is personal. There are a few rooms that have air conditioning. The restaurant serves good food but orders usually need to be placed in advance. A bar located on the grounds can get rather noisy, so it is wise to request a room that does not overlook the popular establishment.
Get out
When crossing the border into Brazil, travellers will be asked to prove that they have been vaccinated against yellow fever. These shots can be obtained on the Brazilian side of the border. Visas are required before Canadian or US citizens can enter Brazil. A visa cannot be obtained at the border so be sure to arrange one before leaving home. It is possible to obtain a visa at the Brazilian Embassy in Georgetown, but this will require a few business days.
Walk across the wooden bridge in Lethem to visit St. Ignatius. There are no businesses other than a cashew factory cooperative run by local women. You will, however, witness the daily lives of the Amerindian population.
The Kunuku Mountains can easily be visited as a day trip.
