AHL is the airport code for Aishalton, a village in the South Rupununi savanna of Guyana, in the far south of the country near the border with Brazil. Aishalton is one of the largest Indigenous communities of the Rupununi, home to Wapishana people, set in a vast landscape of open savanna, scattered bush islands, rivers and distant hills, a remote region of ranches and Amerindian villages far from Guyana's coast. The area is known for its wildlife, its traditional way of life, and nearby granite hills with ancient rock engravings, or petroglyphs. This is a destination for the adventurous rather than the casual visitor, of interest for its wild savanna and cultures. Aishalton is reached by small aircraft to its airstrip and by long, rough tracks across the Rupununi, so any visit needs planning. The climate is hot, with a wet and a dry season on the savanna.
