Pakera is a village in Region 1’s Matthews Ridge area. Guyana’s road gazetteer places Pakera Village on the route running from Matthews Ridge Airstrip towards Arakaka and Port Kaituma.
Understanding the location
The gazetteer lists Pakera Village and Pakera Reservoir as separate points along that route. This makes the document useful for identifying the place, although its historical distance table should not be treated as a present-day journey planner or statement of road conditions.
The Bureau of Statistics also listed Pakera Village among the Region 1 locations in its 2022 census recruitment notice.
