Its colonial history and mix of Afro-Caribbean, Indian, Asian, and native cultures make it just as colorful and electrifying as the islands, but because it sits hidden on the northern coast of South America, it’s largely escaped the onslaught of tourism.

As tropical getaways go, you’ll be way ahead of the curve going to Guyana.
