We visit through Guyana's historic centers, seeing colonial sites dating from the 16th century, and wander along wide tree-lined avenues in the daytime, before gazing in wonder at the flocks of parrots that arrive at twilight. Lush, green foliage, tropical flowers and magnificent waterfalls abound as we make our way through Guyana and into Suriname, where we learn about the history of the country and of the changing face of the plantation industry through visits to the rural areas, the presidential palace and the number of museums. Trinidad is the next port of call, a colorful and lively destination that brings us face-to-face with the best of nature.
Peaceful waterways and lagoons skirt our route as we delve into the heart of this ornithologist's paradise, with hundreds upon hundreds of species of kaleidoscopic birds, many of which are endemic to the area. We move on to admire the colonial sites and epitome of Caribbean cultures in the laid-back marketplaces of Antigua, before sailing amid abundant tropical islands and sampling the famous hiking trails of The Grenadines. Dominica and Guadeloupe combine to form the last stops on this unbelievable trip through paradise.
