In the morning we go to Ogle airport where after check-in we will get into a small prop plane. From the moment we fly away from the capital one will truly see why Guyana is one of the most forest-covered countries in the world. The rainforest stretches down to the little village of Surama where we will land. Once out of the plane we will be collected and taken to the nearby Eco lodge. At the lodge, we will be introduced to the staff and after lunch, all participants will be equipped with hammocks, machetes, rucksacks among many others. At night we relax and enjoy the amazing view over the Rainforest we are about to visit the following day.
