Guayana had some interesting moments. British influence, to my surprise lots of Hindus and Muslims, and a Caribbean flavor. I had an introduction, got to hang out in a dance club in Linden and go to "the races" at a race between Linden and Georgetown.
Not much in the way of natural wonders that hit you in the face. The featured waterfall was a bit off the main north/south road. Time and budget did not support stopping in the nature lodges.
Getting across the Venezuela / Colombia border with a vehicle is the current problem. They'll let people walk across the border, but you can't import a bike into Colombia...until that changes. These things change without notice.
You can take the route from Peru, into south western Brazil, then north to Manus (via a tough dirt road) then on to south western Guayana.
I haven't heard stories of motorcyclist traveling up the Amazon and into Colombia...
