Guyana is a forgotten and mysterious country. Wedged between Surinam, Venezuela and Brazil, the sole English-speaking country in South America also continues to be one of the poorest and least populated on the continent. Anything can happen in this focal point for adventurers, cowboys and gold prospectors. Outside of Georgetown, the capital on the edge of the sea with the appearance of a colonial town, the rest of the territory resembles a lost world. The Amazon forest covers everything, slashed through here and there by enormous, winding rivers. Beyond the jungle is a vast plain, scorched by the sun in summer and inundated by water in the rainy season. Few will dare to venture into the inner country. And yet a handful of truck drivers take amazing risks to supply the gold mines and rare villages that are there with food and fuel.

  3. Deus abençoe e proteja esses guerreiros sempre em todas as viagens que eles fizeram, eles são caminhoneiro raízes meus parabéns um grande abraço da cidade de feira de Santana Bahia Brasil 🇧🇷👏👏🤝

  4. Apenas dijo país pequeño que no se parece a ningún otro pais de centro américa . Inmediatamente dejo de ver porque de entrada ya es falso y poco estudiado el país ya que esté se encuentra en sur américa compartiendo fronteras con Brasil, Surinam y Venezuela. Lo mejor antes de hacer un documental es saber por lo menos donde se encuentra ubicado el país.
