Bartica is a town which exists mostly to serve the mining areas of the Essequibo and Mazaruni Rivers.  We took a bus and a high speed boat to get there and then another boat to Sloth Island.  We saw no sloths but there were plenty of parrots, aracari and toucans.  And howler monkeys which we didn’t see but heard each night. We walked in the rain forest and visited Parrot Island where parrots from miles around come to spend each night only to leave each morning with much clatter.
