  Lots of beautiful spots to see in the interior, Kaiteur is the highest single drop waterfall in the world. Baganara Island is a good vacation spot. Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

  Considering that the author is doing a blog series on visiting some of the more out-of-the-way places, I spent most of the piece wondering when he'd stop talking about the history and actually go on about the things he saw.
