Parika is a port village located in the Essequibo Islands-West Demerara region of Guyana. Its ferry service is operated by the Ministry of Transportation, to and from the Essequibo Islands and West Demerara area. It is a hub for land transport, since it is a route stop for local taxis commonly called "buses."

Overview

Parika is the end of the main road from Georgetown.[2] In 2020, work started to upgrade the road from Demerara Harbour Bridge to Parika to a 2x2 lane dual carriageway.[3]

Parika itself is a small town, however as a gateway to the western half of Guyana, it is always busy. It is best known for its market.[4] Over 700 merchants own a stall on the market.[5] Sunday is traditionally the busiest day of the week.[4][5] Parika is home to a police station, post office, multiple hotels and a variety of restaurants.[5]

Speed boat to Supenaam

Ferry services are offered to Bartica, Leguan Island, Wakenaam and Supenaam.[6] The ferry to Bartica makes a stop at Fort Island.[7] Cars need to be booked at least two hours in advance, and are not guaranteed a spot.[8]
