If you want a full-on sensory experience, go to the river-side Stabroek market in Georgetown.
Cinnamon and clove from Indonesia (via the Dutch ex-colony of Suriname next door), cotton from India, watches from China, bananas from the Guyanan coast, palm nuts from the rainforest up-country, smoked herrings in wooden boxes from Canada, chilli sauces and mango chutneys made locally, rotis and cakes sold at kiosks- the market has it all (in vivid technicolor).
