Baracara Island Resort

Your trips begins with a 900 horse powered jet boat cruise along the Essequibo river passing Dutch ruins, the Benedictine monks dwelling, the penal settlement and smaller boats carrying families and lone miners up and down the river. Stops at the ruined forts and the mining town of Bartica may be offered if time permits.

Baracara Island Resort

Located some 5 miles up the Mazaruni River at the junction of the Cuyuni and Mazaruni Rivers, Baracara Island Resort is set on a secluded island, the thick rainforest foliage its backdrop. The sprawling rustic timber lodge is surrounded by a sparkling white sand beach which leads to the wonderfully cool dark waters of the Mazaruni. The resort offers six airy en suite rooms and one family suite. More simple accommodation is facilitated in Rook Hut which has electricity but no running water. Camping facilities along with jungle camp outs are also available.

A spacious lounge and open deck allow for relaxation and socializing or try a game of pools. Go swimming, jet-ski, play volleyball on the beach, sunbathe or relax. Just a short distance away, on the mainland is the Baracara Falls. Recessed in the rainforest, you can relax in the gently tumbling waters of this small stepped falls and explore the rainforest nearby.
