Guyana, a country on South America’s North Atlantic coast, is defined by its dense rainforest. English-speaking, with cricket and calypso music, it's culturally connected to the Caribbean region. Its capital, Georgetown, is known for British colonial architecture, including tall, painted-timber St. George’s Anglican Cathedral. A large clock marks the facade of Stabroek Market, a source of local produce.

Shopping

Few visitors are likely to make non-essential shopping a priority in Guyana, as the country's main attractions are the remote, wild, natural, and uncommercial rainforests and savannahs of the country's interior (and all the animals that call that place home).
For those with practical and immediate needs upon arrival in Georgetown, "Office Max" (no connection to the North American chain) handles a wide selection of dry goods, Nigels is a good spot for groceries, and Guyana Stores on Water Street has an ecclectic, department-store style selection of clothing and basic lifestyle items. Countless apothecary shops sell western-standard toiletries and pharmaceuticals, many of which require prescriptions in North America and the UK but are over-the-counter here (quality cannot be assured, however).
