Blueberry Hill, is a beautiful village situated on one of the hills in Wismar, Linden and is a haven to the more than 1,500 people living there. The village dates back to the mid 1900s and is situated almost 70 miles from the capital.
No one knows for sure, but rumour has it that the village got its name from the blue/mauve berries locally called “jumbie bubbies” that grow wild in abundance all about the hill. Today, however, they are scarce and said to be located on the outskirts of the village.
To get to the village, one must travel an hour and fifteen minutes from Georgetown to the bus park in Linden before boarding a speed boat across the Demerara River to Wismar before taking a taxi. Unless one has a vehicle, a taxi is the mode of transportation.
