French Guiana Adventure Tours

French Guiana is a little-known corner of South America that surprises visitors with its unique blend of wild Amazonian landscapes and European influence. As an overseas department of France, it’s the only place on the continent where the euro is used and baguettes are as common as tropical fruits. Yet just beyond the colonial facades of Cayenne, the capital, lies a vast expanse of rainforest teeming with wildlife, remote rivers, and Indigenous and Maroon communities co-existing with nature. This enigmatic region is also home to the Guiana Space Centre, a major European launch site where rockets regularly soar into the sky, creating an unexpected juxtaposition of high-tech science and raw natural beauty. Explore the Iles du Salut, including the haunting remains of Devil’s Island, or journey upriver into the heart of the jungle for more adventure. French Guiana offers a rich, off-the-map experience.
