The Sky Valley story

Visitors bathing at the Moco Moco Falls

There is no shortage of interesting tales derived from Amerindian folklore and from Amerindian life as a whole. One of those stories has to do with Sky Valley Waterfall and Adventure Tours, one of the myriad tourist-friendly sites situated in Guyana’s hinterland.

Sky Valley is a Region Nine village situated near the foot of the Kanuku Mountains, 15 kilometers northeast of Lethem. As with much of the hinterland and Amerindian culture, Sky Valley has its own interesting tales to tell.

One of those, as told to me by 53-year-old Alton Primus, the Manager of the Sky Valley Water Tours, has to do with a bit of the history of the place.
