French Guiana

A passion for adventurous traveling? Then you should visit French Guiana.

Geography: Northern South America, bordering the North Atlantic Ocean, between Brazil and Suriname

Climate: tropical; hot, humid; little seasonal temperature variation

Terrain: low-lying coastal plains rising to hills and small mountains

Capital of French Guiana is Cayenne

Languages: French, Guianese Creole

Cayenne: In 1643, Cayenne was landed by French traders and its french roots have become engrained in the city. From the architecture, to the cafes, to the french-style restaurants, the city has a decidedly french flair. The Place des Palmistes is the best place to meet or sit and relax watching the crouds while surrounded by palm trees, and a trip to see both the Musee Departemental and Fort Ceperou are worthwhile. Otherwise the french and creole cuisine is good and the markets can be bustling, especially on Saturdays.
