Lethem Airport is a modest regional hub that connects visitors to the remote Rupununi savannah of Guyana. As the primary entry point for the area, it handles domestic flights from Georgetown and provides a launching pad for exploring the vast grasslands, indigenous villages, and wildlife-rich rivers. The airport itself is small and functional, with basic facilities, but its location offers immediate immersion into the region's natural beauty. Travelers often use it to access eco-lodges, ranches, and the nearby Brazilian border town of Bonfim.

Don't miss

  • Watch small aircraft land against the backdrop of the savannah
  • Spot local wildlife near the runway, like capybaras or birds
  • Visit the nearby Lethem market for local crafts and food
