The research centre's own lodge at Kurupukari, on the bank of the Essequibo inside the reserve, and unusual in publishing everything it charges: cabins from USD 180 single and USD 230 double, plus a USD 15 conservation fee, with breakfast USD 17 and other meals USD 30.
Packages run two to four nights — Bulletwood at USD 775, Greenheart USD 1,097, Purpleheart USD 1,177. Activities are priced separately and scale with group size: canoe trips from USD 15, nature walks USD 22 upwards, Turtle Mountain from USD 230.
Getting there is the expensive part. The public minivan from Georgetown is USD 180 a head; an Iwokrama vehicle return is USD 945 and up; charter flights run into the thousands. No WhatsApp — email is the channel.
