Part 2/8:
The journey begins at the vast Essequibo Delta, a historic region where European settlers, notably the Dutch, established a foothold in the 1600s. The delta, dotted with 365 islands, serves as a melting pot of races and cultures that have cohabited for generations. The remains of Fort Zeelandia, a historical site built to protect plantations from competing colonial powers, remind us of the area's colonial past.
