May 20, 2010 News

The Amerindian Community Council of St Denys is currently engaged in discussion on development plans to identify Tapakuma as a tourist destination. The quiet community embodies the largest lake in Essequibo, measuring  seven kilometers in width and about in 22 kilometers in circumference.
A spokesperson for the council said that there are currently six historical spots that need to be properly identified. These include areas the location where a police station is; 100-foot pull over ramp, a public trail opened by the late Mrs. Janet Jagan, a viewing gallery, Wong’s Hill that overlooks the lake and an exhibition shed with artecticect medical plants and herbs.
The councillor said that when the dam is repaired the tourists would be able to view miles of open savannahs which were once the domain of cattle left in the wild when the sugar plantation was closed in Essequibo in the year 1934.
The Dawa pump station which was constructed in 1961 and sits in the middle of the Tapakuma River is also a magnificent display of engineering skills. Aquaculture, bird watching and sailing are in development plans.
The community, at present, supplies pineapples, cassava and lumber. It also supplies furniture, wood, and handicraft.
