Cuyuni-Mazaruni, Administrative region in western Guyana
The territory encompasses 47,213 square kilometers of dense rainforest terrain, featuring the convergence of the Cuyuni and Mazaruni rivers near Bartica.
The region emerged from the former Mazaruni-Potaro district during Guyana's 1980 administrative reforms, establishing Bartica as its capital center.
Indigenous communities maintain traditional practices throughout the region while gold mining activities bring workers from various Caribbean and South American nations.
Travelers reach the regional capital Bartica through regular boat services departing from Georgetown or via the connecting road network through Linden.
The International Court of Justice currently examines territorial claims over this mineral-rich region between Guyana and Venezuela.
