The South America Tourist

French Guiana is an adventurous traveller’s dream; it’s exotic, exciting and boasts a curious mixture of culture that’s well worth exploring.

Babbling brooks and fast-flowing rivers traverse the largely untamed Amazon forest and, via the savannah plains, spill out in the Atlantic Ocean. Little explored waterways and rough forest trails beckon outdoor adventurers, although few find their way to this smallest territory of the continent: French Guiana.

A closer look clearly shows that French Guiana has its own identity and uniqueness, presenting an interesting experience for tourists backpacking South America.
