Mabaruma is the capital of the Barima-Waini region of Guyana, located in the northwestern border region of the country, near the Venezuelan border. The town is situated on the Mabaruma Ridge, about 30 meters above sea level, and is surrounded by tropical rainforest, with a tropical rainforest climate that is warm and humid throughout the year.
Mabaruma is located in a remote part of Guyana and is known for its rich biodiversity, with the surrounding rainforest being the habitat of numerous wildlife species. The region's economy is based on agriculture, with crops such as coconuts and citrus, while forestry and small-scale mining have also developed. Due to its location near the Atlantic Ocean, fishing is also an important source of livelihood for the local population.
Mabaruma has a small, culturally diverse population of mainly indigenous Indians and people of African descent. The town's infrastructure is relatively simple, with a small airport (Mabaruma Airport) connecting it to the capital city of Georgetown and serving as a regional transportation hub. Visitors can experience the pristine rainforest and indigenous culture, but tourism is still in its infancy.
