Overview

Guiana

A small piece of France in South America, Guiana is the biggest French department. The population is composed of French metropolitans and Creoles, but also American Indians, Brazilians and Chinese communities. Famous for its penal colonies and gold rush, gold washing still happens here, but at the expense of certain tribes. With 96% of the territory covered in tropical forest, it is needless to say that the country contains a multitude of animal and plant species. Wildlife lovers will be amazed!

pros

  •  The immersion of an Amazonian land into a French region.
  •  The summer season in the UK corresponds with the best climatic period to visit Guiana.

cons

  •  The humidity and weather are sometimes hard to cope with.
  •  The coast is not really suitable for swimming.
  •  Holidays here are not always relaxing.

Country Guide

Our Editorial team's advice

Make sure that you take cotton clothing, a bathing suit, ankle boots, a sweatshirt and a windbreaker coat (for the country's inlands) with you.
If you are going on an excursion in the jungle, it is obviously necessary to prepare yourself physically, but also psychologically; a stay in the forest is a total break from any form of civilisation. Note: you must be humble when you meet the local ethnic groups in the forest.
