==Description==
The Rupununi Savannah is located between the Rupununi River and the border with Brazil and Venezuela. The Rupununi forms the southwestern wilderness territory of Guyana, a Caribbean country situated on the Northeastern littoral of South America. The savannah is dissected by the Kanuku Mountains. The Rupununi Savannah encompasses 5000 square miles of virtually untouched grasslands, swamplands, rain-forested mountains. The region usually floods in the wet season (May to August). Early European explorers believed that the Rupununi floodplains were the legendary Lake Parime.〔(Charles Waterton, ''Wanderings in South America,'' Cassell & Co, Ltd: London, Paris & Melbourne. 1891. )〕〔(Humboldt, Alexander von, ''Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America During the Years 1799-1804,'' (chapter 25). Henry G. Bohn, London, 1853. )〕〔(Graham Watkins, Pete Oxford, and Reneé Bish. ''Rupununi: Rediscovering a Lost World,'' Earth in Focus Editions; November 1, 2010 ) ISBN 0984168648.〕 The area is inhabited by some 15,000 Amerindians.
