It will take a while before we can update the stories on Guyana, so here is already some quick info :) The main roads from Georgetown Guyana - St Georges (border French Guyana & Brazil) are all very good. Some roads in Surinam are bumpy, but being upgraded as we speak. You need to take a ferry between the countries, but you can take a motorbike on them. The only two bad roads are from the brazil border to Georgetown (first 400km unpaved and either bumpy or slippery, but still very ride-able) and from the other Brazil border to Macapa (first 30km paved, then 300km very unpaved :) Note that also that road is scheduled for upgrading. As we were in a hurry to catch our boat on the Amazon, we took a bus on both routes, but other cylists have ridden it. Hope this helps, the Guyanas were definitely one of the highlights of our trip so far, recommended!

My boyfriend and I are planning a motorcycle trip from Denver through South America this spring. We want to go to Suriname because I lived there for a few years. Just curious how the roads were for you from Venezuela over to French Guiana. Hi guys,
