Looking for a great South American getaway? Consider going with local transportation and tourism services through Kaikusi.

In the small country of Guyana. There is a vast wilderness waiting to be discovered. Some of the best untouched rain forests, beautiful savannas, and impressive tours can be found here. Everything from bird watching tours to see the cock-of-the-rock, or almost extinct golden parakeet to the Lethem Rupununi Rodeo. You can go hiking in the wilderness where only the natives go or you can hit the most popular tourist destinations. This country offers the worlds tallest single drop waterfall and some of the most beautiful and treacherous mountains in the world. Local companies like Wilderness Tourism are the best way to access this paradise.

Wilderness Tourism is a branch of Kaikusi transportation and tourism services. They are located in the south central part of Guyana, South America. Their goal is to provide tourism services for small local communities. The ecotourism industry is quickly becoming the largest source of income in these impoverished areas. Their goal is to protect that income and see that it is used towards the education and development of the community. They provide information on tourism as well as promote the services of their partners. After the cost of operation, their profits go to local education and programming. If you are interested in touring the area, volunteering, or in making a donation, Visit their website at www.wilderness-tourism.com/

Kaikusi can help you organize vacation packages, cheap flights, family tours, or even volunteer opportunities. The best part is, not only will we help you save money, but by using local businesses your money stays in the community you are visiting. Kaikusi brings money into rural communities and supports education. They provide communication between tourists and their partners to provide alternative tourism options that favor local businesses and the community. They also sponsor community enrichment and education programs directly. Revenue from their site and donations go largely to education supplies and volunteer support. Their next project is bringing internet and phone access to remote villages for use in schools and to give the community the means to communicate with the world. Largely, these rural communities are not taken into consideration when their governments make decisions because they do not have access to up-to-date information and no means to contact their representatives. This leads to predatory law making where the politicians in the capital take advantage of rural community resources.

Consider a trip to rural South America. Through Kaikusi it is affordable and your money goes to a good cause.
