In our own homeland, there are jewels like the Kanuku mountains to be discovered

Dear Editor,

Way below the populated, industrialized and busy coastal belt in Guyana lies a silent gem that waits to be discovered—the Rupununi Savannahs. I attended the rodeo that was held there last weekend and I have a bundle of experiences that I wish to share with your readers. My suppositions of Lethem were very wrong, as I thought the place to be a distant port in the south of Guyana with hardly any buzzing civilization, but I was very wrong. There is active telephone coverage in the area, from both major telecommunication companies, a regular supply of electricity, supermarkets, shops, restaurants, internet cafes, hotels and more.
