The Arawak village of Wakapau is located in the Pomeroon-Supenaam Region of Guyana, on the Wakapau River, a tributary on the west bank of the Pomeroon River, 3 km from its mouth, located at 7°31′00″N, 58°47′60″W. The village is one of the best examples of an Amerindian community that has not only preserved the traditional Arawak culture, but also retained its tribal language.
