It is open 24 hours a day as a natural viewpoint, but visiting during daylight is recommended for safety. You can reach it on foot or by tour from Surama Eco Lodge; book with them at Surama Eco Lodge or call +592 227 2078.
Entry is free, as it is a public viewpoint in the Surama community. If you go with a local guide, the cost is around GY$2,000-3,000 per person; check updated prices at Guyana Tourism.
It is recommended to allow 1-2 hours to enjoy the views, walk the trails, and take photos. If you combine it with a guided tour, it may extend into half a morning.
This viewpoint offers panoramic views of the Burro Burro River, which is vital to the Makushi community of Surama and depends on the river for fishing and transportation. It represents the Indigenous cultural connection with nature in Guyana's Rupununi region.
The best time is during the dry season (December-April) for clear views and dry paths; sunset is ideal for spectacular sunsets. Avoid the rainy season (May-November) because of flooding.
The main access is via uneven dirt trails, so it is not suitable for wheelchairs. Contact Surama Eco Lodge for adapted tour options or nearby 4x4 vehicle transport.
Nearby you will find Surama Eco Lodge for accommodation and tours, the trail to Surama Mountain for hiking, and the savanna plains for wildlife watching. Explore more at Rupununi Region.
