About: Kurupukari
Fairview (Kurupukari) is an indigenous settlement on the Essequibo River, in the Upper Demerara-Berbice region of Guyana. It is the entry point to the Iwokrama Forest. Former president David A. Granger once referred to Iwokrama as the "green heart of Guyana." The demographics of the village include mostly Arawak, Macushi, Wapishana and more recently, Patamona people. The Linden-Lethem Road crosses the river here by a ferry. Fairview on the west side of the Essequibo River, has an unpaved airstrip, as well as a public health post, a primary and nursery school.
