Bonfim is the Brazilian counterpart to Lethem, located just across the Takutu River Bridge. This small town offers a distinct Brazilian atmosphere with Portuguese signage, bakeries selling pão de queijo, and shops stocked with electronics, clothing, and household goods. Visitors can easily walk across the border to explore, sample Brazilian cuisine, and buy items not readily available in Guyana. The town also serves as a transit point for travelers heading deeper into Brazil's Roraima state. The border crossing is straightforward for those with proper documentation.
