Lima Sands
Lima Sands is a village in the Pomeroon-Supenaam Region of Guyana. It is located to the west of Anna Regina. The Cheddi Jagan Bio Diversity Park is in Lima Sands. History
The plantations in the area were depended on the Anna Regina estate for their water. The relationship between the planters was poor, and the water supply was often sabotaged. In 1788, a canal was dug from Tapakuma Lake to the Lima estate using slave labour which resulted in the creation of Lima Sands. The canal became a favourite escape route for slaves. The Cheddi Jagan Bio Diversity Park opened in the village on 23 March 2002. Overview
