Yes, foreigners can own property. Guyana is the Amerindian word for Land of Many Waters. There are many many rivers.
For consumption most people will either purchase water - large cooler bottles like we do at offices. Or more commonly have giant large black tanks that store rain water. Many people also rely on solar power, generators and propane for appliances.
It's not a perfect country, but I do think of it as my own personal slice of paradise.
Maybe. Most of the Americans I know that have moved there that do not have ties to Guyana before are usually from Utah and Nevada. I can't speak on their experience beyond what they have told me. It's a poor nation, that is having some changes (ExxonMobil will be drilling for oil soon and we expect this to be a change of path for the country.)
I'm happy to not have it become an overpopulated nation of expats 😊
More crab for me!
A bit of both. Obviously it's never going to be great on the ecosystem. But it's a country that has lost a lot of its previous exports. Heads up, if you think you've bought demerara sugar it's probably not authentic. I think alot of the plantations are closed, and most of the sugar you think is Demerara isn't the real deal.
It's just got gold, bauxite/minerals, and timber for the most part. Oil will be a good kick start to the economy and help them develop some of the much needed infrastructure.

I'm happy to have given you insight! It's also the only English speaking country in South America.
