Activity itinerary

Demerara Harbour Bridge (Pass by)

The Demerara Harbour Bridge is a significant infrastructure landmark located in Guyana, South America. It spans the Demerara River, connecting the country's capital city, Georgetown, to the western region of Demerara-Mahaica. This floating bridge is a crucial transport link, facilitating the movement of vehicles and pedestrians between these areas. The bridge's construction was completed in 1978, and it has since become a vital artery for commerce, trade, and daily commuting in the region. The Demerara Harbour Bridge plays a pivotal role in connecting urban and rural areas, fostering economic growth, and enhancing accessibility for the local population. It's an iconic symbol of Guyana's development and a testament to the engineering prowess required to create and maintain such a complex structure in a challenging environment.

The Linden Museum of Industrial & Socio-Cultural Heritage is housed in a building formerly called the Recreational Hall. It is located on Co-op Crescent Street, Mackenzie.

Bosai Minerals Group Guyana Inc. (Pass by)

The Bauxite Plant, located on the eastern side of the Demerara River, was built circa 1917 after the establishment of the Demerara Bauxite Company (DEMBA). For some time the town was synonymous with the word Bauxite due to the economic strides it brought to the township.

Christianburg Waterwheel

  • 15m
The Christianburg Waterwheel located on Burnham Drive, Christianburg, Linden, was installed as part of a hydro-powered sawmill on the plantation sometime during the latter half of the 1800s. This hydro-powered sawmill was needed to improve the production of logs and reducing the cost associated with it. The waterwheel is regarded as one of the earliest engineering structures to be built in the town.

Watooka Guest House

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Watooka House commonly referred to as the Watooka Guest House is an early 20th century colonial three-storey building.
