If you want to take a trip from Georgetown to Moruca I guarantee that you will enjoy every bit of it. Let me tell you about it. It's really unforgetable and adventurous. First you need to go to the Parika bus station.And when there go into a bus that is going to Parika and no where else. Taxis are also avaiable but the bus is cheaper. On the way to Parkia you will cross the Demerara Harbour Bridge which has an amazing view. The trip takes about half and hour to meet Parika.There you will see lots of vendors selling vegetables, clothes, household things and a lot more. The Parika stelling is located on the bank of the Essequibo river. It is mostly known for it's Ferry service to different places on the coast. At the Parika stelling you must keep an eye on your luggages because there is always some handyman that wanna help and wanna rush things. At the stelling go into a speed boat that is going to Supeenam. I have to say that this boat ride is sometimes rough but you also have nice view to take your mind off it. That ride takes about half an hour to Supeenam. At Supeenam take a taxi going to Charity. Charity is in region two in the Pomeroon on the Essequibo Coast. The ride from Supeenam to Charity takes about one hour and fourty minutes. On your way to Charity you will pass a lot of rice fields, cattles and some amazing view... about twenty mintues before reaching Charity you will come upon Anna Regina a village in region two. At Charity there they have a market place and it is well crowded on Mondays. When there go to the dock. It's on the bank of the Pomeroon river. The Pomeroon river is really large in length and width. That river leads to the Atlantic Ocean. Go into a speed boat that is going to Moruca. That trip from Charity to Moruca is the most amazing ride for me. It takes about half an hour to meet the Atlantic Ocean from the Charity dock. It's amazing and breath taking for people who had never seen or been in a speed boat on the ocean before. Sometimes crossing over is a bit rough but nothing to worry about. I guarantee that you will say it was well worth it beacuse of what is awaiting for you in Moruca. After crossing part of the ocean you will go into the Moruca river. At the beginning you will see lots of antgrove trees and from there it's tree apon trees and also savannahs.You will probably stop at some villages for passengers to come off. It takes in all about two hours to meet Moruca. And when there enjoy yourself to de bone.
