The Kanuku Mountains



The Kanuku Mountains in Southwestern Guyana rise out of the grasslands to form a stunning backdrop to the Rupununi savannah. With wind-sculpted crowns rising to just below cloud level, the range is notable for its exceptionally diverse bird and mammal species approximately 80% of the known species of mammals in Guyana are found here. The Kanuku are bisected by the Rupununi River, one of the primary tributaries of the Essequibo.
