Georgetown, the capital of Guyana, is situated on the Atlantic coast at the mouth of the Demerara River. The city is the political and cultural heart of the country and home to one of the tallest wooden churches in the world. It further serves as the main commercial and manufacturing center of Guyana, with exports including sugar, rice, tropical fruits, and more. However, Georgetown faces challenges such as frequent flooding due to its low-lying coastal location.
