Essequibo Islands-West Demerara (Region 3) is a region of Guyana. It is situated around the Essequibo River, the largest river in Guyana that lies between the Orinoco and Amazon rivers of South America.
It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north, the region of Demerara-Mahaica and Demerara River to the east, the region of Upper Demerara-Berbice to the south and the region of Pomeroon-Supenaam to the west. In this region are the villages of Parika, Tuschen and Uitvlugt. Along the Essequibo River are 365 islands,[2] of which three of the largest are to be found at the mouth of the Essequibo: Hogg Island, Wakenaam and Leguan.
