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 different people traveling through the trail, as well as an Israeli tourist, Elhanan Oren, who was doing a tour around the world and passed her on 25th of July 2016.
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 (June 2022), there are also ongoing plans by the Guyana Government to pave the trail linking Lethem to Linden.
Enjoy these beautiful, breath-taking photos of scenes along the Lethem – Georgetown Trail.
