The flag of Guyana, known as The Golden Arrowhead, was adopted in 1966. It was designed by Dr. Whitney Smith, a prominent American vexillologist (though originally without the black and white fimbriations, which were added by the College of Arms in the United Kingdom). The colors are symbolic: green for agriculture and forests, white for rivers and water, gold for mineral wealth, black for endurance, and red for zeal and dynamism.

Guyana is often referred to as the land of six peoples, reflecting the multi-ethnic composition of its population.
Guyana offers visitors a truly unique view of nature; the heartland provides an experience with raw, rugged nature that is an ideal complement to the more traditional tourism fare of the Caribbean.
Life in Guyana is dominated by mighty rivers, including the Demerara, the Berbice and the Essequibo, which provide essential highways into the rain forests and jungles of the interior.
