This excellent birding location is located in the south of Guyana near the border with Brazil. From Boa Vista, the capital of Rotaima state, there are several buses to Bonfim, a town on the border with Guyana. These cost about 13R and take about 2 hours. Don't get off the bus at the terminal but instead stay on until the last stop which is the Brazilian immigration where you need to get an exit stamp. From there, it is a short walk to the river where you can get a boat accross for 3R. On the other side you can change Reais for Guyanese dollars (G$90 for R1) and take a taxi into town (G$500) or walk. The police station is not far from the river and here you get your entry stamp. I had a problem here as I told them I was probably staying 4 days and they stamped a 4 day voisa into my passport. Make sure you give yourself enough time. Getting an extension later is difficult and the police supremely unhelpful and on a power trip. Get the taxi (which should have been waiting for you) to drop you off at the airport where there is a food shop and internet cafe.
