Isseneru is a small Amerindian settlement located in the Upper Mazaruni region of Guyana, South America. It is situated along the Mazaruni River. The community is primarily inhabited by Akawaio Amerindians. Economic activities in Isseneru are centered around small-scale mining, subsistence farming, and traditional hunting and fishing.
