- Orealla

- Orealla  is an Amerindian community in the East Berbice-Corentyne Region of Guyana, on the Corentyne River, approximately 33 miles (53 km) south of Crabwood Creek and 11 miles (18 km) north of Epira, 15 miles (24 km) south-east on the other side of the Courantyne River lies the Surinamese village of Apoera.

Orealla is the only Amerindian community that has had the boundaries of its reservation demarcated, with a total area of 266 sq mi (690 km²).

Small ocean-going vessels are able to navigate the Corentyne River for about 70 km, to the first rapids at Orealla. Last year, Orella was designated Amerindian village for the year. During the Amerindian Heritage Month, vistors flocked that area to take part in the celebrations.
