Linden is the second largest city in Guyana, located in the Demerara-Maboika Region, on the banks of the Essequibo River, about 110 kilometers from the capital, Georgetown. As the country's major mining center, Linden is known for its bauxite mining, with a large bauxite processing plant, and is the central hub for Guyana's bauxite exports, supporting a major pillar of the country's economy. The city has a population of about 35,000 and is multicultural, with communities of Indian, African and Aboriginal origin living together to form a unique cultural atmosphere. Although the mining industry is the lifeblood of the economy, in recent years Linden has also been actively developing tourism and agriculture, relying on the riverside landscape and natural resources to attract tourists. In terms of transportation, it is connected to Georgetown by road and has a small airport, making it an important gateway city to Guyana's interior.
