Buxton, Guyana, Guyana

Capital City

Forget the picturesque savannas - life in this remote Guyanese town is a grind. Buxton's population of 3,000 faces a persistent headache of bureaucracy, with strict weight limits on luggage when flying the only route in and out. The climate is tropical and wet, with heavy rainfall from May to August. This bleak outpost is hardly a paradise, and is best suited for the most hardy of adventurers willing to put up with its many inconveniences.
