The Lethem – Georgetown Trail is a 300 miles (approximately) trail cut mostly through the Amazon Rain Forest from Lethem to Linden.
The Lethem–Georgetown Trail is also referred to as the “Lethem – Linden Trail.” That’s because there is paved road from Linden going to Georgetown, while from Lethem to Linden, it’s a sand/brick/clay trail.
However, most itineraries are from Lethem to Georgetown or from Georgetown to Lethem. So when people say they are “going through the trail,” they usually mean they are going from Lethem to Georgetown or vice versa.
So whether you want to call it the “Lethem – Georgetown Trail,” or the “Lethem – Linden Trail” is entirely up to you. Personally, I prefer to refer to the trail as the “Lethem – Georgetown Trail” which includes the sand trail as well as the paved road from Linden to Georgetown.

These beautiful photos of “Scenes Along the Trail” were taken by an Israeli tourist, Elhanan Oren, around the 25th of July 2019. At that time, Elhanan was doing a tour around the world by motorcycle.
Elhanan and I caught up with each at the Takutu Hotel in Lethem. Both of us being travel buffs, we started a conversation and decided to stay in touch. A few days later, after he had arrived in Georgetown, Elhanan sent me these beautiful photos he took while motorcycling through the trail.
Although the Lethem – Georgetown Trail changes a lot during rainy and dry seasons, the breathtaking scenes along the trail are pretty much just as beautiful.
At present (December 2019), there are also ongoing plans by the Guyana Government to pave the trail linking Lethem to Linden.
As you’re reading this, Elhanan is still on his tour around the world – going as far as Africa and the Middle East.
Wherever you are now, thank you so much Elhanan. You are great photographer and you were a great blessing to me. God bless you.
Everyone else, enjoy these beautiful, breath-taking photos of scenes along the Lethem – Georgetown Trail.
