(Translated by Google) Museum and plantation life, eating on Bakkie (Original) Museum en plantageleven, eten op Bakkie

We were with our sailing vessel at the Commewijne River. We visited Bakkie during our river trip. We were warmly welcomed when we arrived with our dinghy. First we were served a glass of homemade marva iced tea from a plant in the garden. The tour of the museum and garden was inspiring and very informative. Bas and Marsha have put a lot of effort into making the Bakkie plantation a beautiful spot. I felt the respect for the Surinamese people, history and environment everywhere. They have a great story about how they started renovating the plantation. First they dug out the creek, not for two weeks but for nine months. And then fortunately a new plan was born. You have to go to the museum yourself to get inspiration and learn more about Suriname. The (vegetarian) lunch was wonderful as well, home made with veggies from the garden. I think it is ( or can be) an healing spot for all the bad things that have happend to the slaves in the past. I hope that Bas and Marsha will continue their work with the good spirit and courage for the next years to reduce discrimination and build solidarity.

A place lost in time. The owner of the museum is working hard to keep the history of this unique place alive. New floodgate and dikes are build to protect Bakki from flooding. Walkway paved with concrete tiles and boatdock is made from concrete.

We had a great time at Plantage Bakkie! Hosts Bas and Marsha did a very good job in explaining their story, the plantation history and their private collection. Also guide Jacquelin did a good job on the way to Bakkie. The tour was in dutch, because the whole group was dutch speaking. An arrangement could be made for a boat to pick us up from Frederiksdorp and then collect the other people of the group along the river. Tours are not every day of the week, so make sure to reach out via their website.

Had a lovely lunch here and visited the museum and gardens.

Unique museum and botanic garden in the middle of nature managed by very friendly people.

Great food, most friendly staff, and learned a great story about Bakkie, definitely worth it!

A place with a great treasure of history

(Translated by Google) A night in a cabin with Slaï and Joana (very kind and welcoming), on the other side of the road, facing the beach. Bouboule (the dog) will accompany you on each walk. One of the most beautiful beaches in Guyana, with a magnificent sunset. Too bad there are so many stray dogs (barking at night and devastated turtle nests), mosquito nets required at night. (Original) Une nuit en carbet chez Slaï et Joana (très gentils et accueillants), de l'autre côté de la route, face à la plage. Bouboule (le chien) vous accompagnera à chaque balade. Une des plus belles plages de Guyane, avec un magnifique coucher de soleil. Dommage qu'il y ait autant de chiens errants (aboiements la nuit et nids de tortues dévastés), moustiquaire obligatoire pour la nuit.

(Translated by Google) With a little patience you can find turtles! It was wonderful! (Original) Mit etwas geduld findet man Schildkröten! Wunderschön war es!

(Translated by Google) To see the turtles is fine, but staying there is not a great day, you need to bring a sandwich because there is nothing for lunch except in the center of Mana. (Original) Pour apercevoir les tortue ok, mais à rester là journée pas terrible, il faut prévoir un sandwich car il n'y a rien pour déjeuner sinon au centre de Mana.

(Translated by Google) Awala Yalimapo beach is very pretty. The surrounding area is equipped with games for children, huts with tables and benches. We have a good time there. It’s a shame that the remains of what was a piece of the penal colony are not highlighted. On the other hand, there are artisan workshops that make and sell very pretty things. (Original) La plage de Awala Yalimapo est très jolie. Les abords sont aménagés avec des jeux pour enfants, des carbets avec des tables et bancs. On y passe un bon moment. Dommage que les vestiges de ce qui fut un morceau du bagne ne soient pas mis en valeur. Par contre, il y a des ateliers d'artisans qui fabriquent et vendent de bien jolies choses.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent place to relax with the family, on a beautiful beach in the shade of coconut trees. The inhabitants of Awala Walimapo are welcoming and sell very beautiful, purely local crafts. (Original) Magnifique endroit pour se détendre en famille, sur une très belle plage à l’ombre des cocotiers. Les habitants d’Awala Walimapo ont le sens de l’accueil et vendent du très bel artisanat purement local.

(Translated by Google) A place to relax, a place conducive to reading and possibly for the brave to swim. Don't expect Caribbean-colored water, but rather the color of a dirty river. Watch out for the coconut. (Original) Lieu de détente, endroit propice à la lecture et éventuellement pour les courageux à la baignade.Ne vous attendez pas à de l’eau couleur Caraïbes, mais plutôt couleur rivière sale. Attention au noix de coco.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful beach which is only attractive for turtles. It's a shame that we got up too late to see this show, but it was only a little while back on the beaches of Rémire. (Original) Très belle plage qui n'a d'attrait que pour les tortues. Dommage que nous nous sommes levés trop tard pour voir ce spectacle mais ce n'était que partie remise sur les plages de Rémire.

This was by far my favorite place in SL. The office had nice stuff, but it's a bit pricey. I bought a beautiful turtle bottle opener for my bf for €6. I also noticed native women who make beautiful jewelry. Staff was friendly. I had a glass of wine at the nearby cafe and enjoyed the sun and river view. ❤

Very helpful staff. They even gave me a map of Saint-Laurent for free. Unlike most French people they speak decent English.

Really helpful, and the lady could speak English

A good trip across d surinam river to french guyana. Ten minutes

Had a nice day in fr Guyana.

(Translated by Google) Following the advice and kindness of the staff, we were able to make excellent visits. Our memories are richer. Thank you very much for your sharing. (Original) Suite aux conseils et à la gentillesse du personnel, nous avons pu faire d'excellentes visites. Nos souvenirs en sont plus riches. Merci beaucoup pour votre partage.

(Translated by Google) The note is not really for the office because there were a lot of people the day we went there and we were not able to take their tickets. The building is located on a very beautiful square not far from the transportation camp. (Original) La note n'est pas vraiment pour l'office car il y avait beaucoup de monde le jour où l'on s'y est rendu et nous n'avons pas pu prendre leur attache. Le bâtiment est situé sur une très belle place non loin du camp de la transportation.

We were able to ride around Devils island where political prisioners were wed kept including the famous Dreyfuss. Entry to Devils idkznd is so trecherous that they used a cable car from Royal Island to transport prisoners and guards. The Royal island offers a great view of the life of those who were here to maintain life including guards, nuns, and priests

Beautiful islands, nice views despite the fact that they used to be the penal colony. We only visited the Royale, it was enough to give us an idea of how terrible the lives of the prisoners there used to be. It was a nice walk around the island even though the temperature was high about 87 degrees Fahrenheit because there were lots of trees which gave us shade along with some breeze from the ocean. Lots of monkeys and other birds and animals. I i

You stand on the nicer sister islands and squint across the water at the real thing, the little rock with palm trees that ate men for breakfast. Boats do not even dock there, the shoreline is teeth, the surf is mean, so the tours drop you on Ile Royale and you stare across like a chump with a camera. That part is real, and kind of perfect, because Devil’s Island was always about not getting where you want to go. Life magazine ran a photo essay in 1938 that basically said shut this place down already, picture book to end the colony, polite American fury in glossy pages. It lands harder when you know the numbers, seven hundred shipped in a year, about seven hundred gone by year’s end from disease or escape or just disappearing into the green, population stays the same, a loop with no mercy. Rene Belbenoit wrote it straighter than anyone, first in Dry Guillotine and then in Hell on Trial, no hero cape, just sores and hunger and the slow grind, the kind of writing that smells like wet canvas and bad soup. He did his time, he ran, he made it to the States, then he put the bagne on trial from a safe chair with a sharp memory. If you read one voice before you come here, read him. The island itself is smaller than the legend, one of three little dots called the Salvation Islands, ten miles off the Guiana coast, pretty from far away, poison up close. Dreyfus stared at that same sky from a hut and the republic stared back and nearly went blind. History calls it an islet, I call it a bad idea that lasted a century too long. Come for the story, not the selfie. Walk the cells on Royale, listen for the sea hitting those black rocks, then go sit with Belbenoit in your bag, and let the book do what travel never can, which is tell you why a place like this should stay empty. Notes for the curious Tours land on Ile Royale, Devil’s Island itself is off limits, the colony system in French Guiana ran from the 1850s to the 1950s, more than seventy thousand convicts were sent over that span, and the place finally shut after enough witnesses put the truth in print.

“Devil’s Island: The hottest vacation spot… literally. If you’ve ever thought, ‘Hey, I’d love to experience prison, but with a tropical twist,’ then this is the place for you! From the second I arrived, the VIP treatment was clear: private accommodations (because, well, there’s no one else here), and the staff is… invisible? I didn’t see a single person except a crab that seemed particularly judgmental about my footwear. Activities are top-notch—like ‘Find Potable Water’ and ‘Dodge the Poisonous Bugs!’ Dining options include ‘Whatever Washed Up on Shore’ or ‘Air for Dinner,’ and let’s just say the portion sizes were… slimming. And the nightlife? Oh, it’s electric! Every night there’s a lively, unscheduled mosquito rave in your tent. Plus, the sounds of crashing waves and distant howls ensure you’ll never sleep through the terror. Overall, it’s a solid 5 stars if you’re into rugged survival or just want to feel like a pirate who’s made some really poor life choices. Highly recommend—for my in-laws.”

It was super cool to see and learn all the history in person. The island is beautiful and the monkeys are adorable.

This island was used as a prison in the 19th and 20th centuries and it was a place to keep exiled political prisoners, and because of the violent treatment of the guards with the prisoners, it became known as Devil's Island. Alfred Dreyfus is among the most famous people incarcerated in this prison. The movie Papion was inspired by the real life story of one of the escaped prisoners of this place.

I was wrongfully accused of treason and imprisoned here for many years. It was my good fortune to meet an Italian priest who educated me in the arts & sciences as well as sword fighting. I escaped with the body of my dear deceased friend, the priest, and with a hidden fortune and help from pirates, I made my way home and took my revenge on those who stole my life. Alas, that is a tale for another post. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend a stay on the island.

Amazing experience.

Cool

(Translated by Google) Unmissable visit: a catamaran crossing with TONY’C BOAT, a great host. Superb islands, exceptional flora and fauna. Don't leave your picnic lying around because little gourmands will come and help themselves. (Original) Incontournable visite une traversée en catamaran avec TONY’C BOAT un super hôte. Des superbes îles une flaure et une faune exceptionnelle. Ne pas laisser traîner son pique nique car des petits gourmands viendront se servir.

(Translated by Google) We just had a wonderful 2-night, 3-day stay on Ile Royale. We rented a caretaker's cabin with a terrace. What a pleasure to wake up surrounded by all these animals: capuchins, peacocks, hummingbirds, macaws... We added breakfast and dinner. Thanks to the cook, it was very good and thanks to the whole team for taking such great care of us. I also recommend the guided tour 👌🏼I can't wait to come back ☺️ (Original) Nous venons de passer un superbe séjour de 2 nuits, 3 jours, sur l’Ile Royale. Nous avons loué une cabane des gardiens avec terrasse. Quel plaisir de se réveiller au milieu de tous ces animaux : capucins, paons, colibris, aras… Nous avions ajouté le petit-déjeuner et le dîner. Merci au cuisinier, c’était très bon et merci à toute l’équipe au petit soin pour nous. Je vous conseille aussi la visite guidée 👌🏼J’ai hâte de revenir ☺️

(Translated by Google) If you come to Guyana, the Salvation Islands are a must-see place and a complete change of scenery. (Original) Si vous venez en Guyane, les îles du salut sont un endroit incontournable et un dépaysement total.

(Translated by Google) Not visiting the Salvation Islands during a stay in Guyana is not an option! Very pleasant and welcoming setting, the walk around the islands is well laid out and the discovery of the penal colonies is a real pleasure, the history of a bygone era in buildings that are still well preserved for the most part. Doable during the day, it is easy to rest on the beach of St Joseph Island to eat lunch. (Original) Ne pas visiter les îles du salut lors d'un séjour en Guyane n'est pas envisageable ! Cadre très agréable et accueillant la balade autour des îles est bien aménagée et la découverte des bagnes est un réel plaisir, l'histoire d'une époque révolue dans des bâtiments encore bien conservés pour la plupart. Faisable sur la journée, il est facile de se reposer sur la plage de l'île St Joseph pour manger le midi.

(Translated by Google) Undeniably the treasure of French Guiana 🤩 If you have the opportunity to be in the country, you must plan a trip to the Salvation Islands. To set foot in this exceptional place, you'll need to find a local service provider and the right offer for you. I highly recommend the catamaran crossing; it's all the more enjoyable to be able to lie on the boat's net and enjoy the sun with the gentle sound of the waves crashing against the hull. After a 15km / 1.5 hour ride, more or less rough depending on the wind, you will arrive in front of the Salvation Islands archipelago. Historically a major penal colony, they are now Guiana's cultural treasures for their heritage and biodiversity. You will have the chance to visit Île Royale and Île Saint Joseph; Devil's Island is off-limits to the public. The fauna, flora and architecture will amaze you. (Original) Incontestablement le trésor de la Guyane française 🤩 Si vous avez l’occasion d’être sur le territoire, il est nécessaire de programmer un passage aux îles du salut. Afin de mettre un pied à terre dans cet endroit exceptionnel, il vous faudra trouver un prestataire local et l’offre qui vous convient. Je vous conseille fortement, la traversée en catamaran, c’est d’autant plus agréable de pouvoir être allongé sur le filet du bateau et profiter du soleil avec le doux bruits des vagues qui viennent s’écraser contre la coque du bateau. Après 15km / 1h30 plus ou moins mouvementé selon le vent, vous arriverez devant l’archipel des îles du Salut. Historiquement hauts lieux de colonie pénitentiaire, elles sont désormais des trésors culturels guyanais pour leur patrimoine et leur biodiversité. Vous aurez la chance de visiter l’île Royale et l’île Saint Joseph, l’île du diable quant à elle est interdit au public. La faune, la flore ainsi que l’architecture seront vous émerveillez.

The guided bus tour was really awesome and super cool that it was free! We enjoyed learning about the space port and seeing Mission Control. The museum part was not as exciting. It feels very geared toward little kids, so for us (a group of adults), it was not very exciting and felt a bit like a waste of the admit fee. I would definitely do the tour again, but probably not the museum.

Our group of 17 international tourists were able to get a complete bus tour today. We made reservations in advance. Note that you must have passport or French ID to enter. Tours may be cancelled at any time for launches, which are not shared for security reasons. ALLAN guided us through many sites inc a control room, rocket booster storage area, and several areas that showed the process of the construction of various parts of the rocket. The vast area offers a solar panel field with one more under construction and another ready to be started. The museum is interesting for just enough detail to the scientific process. Bus and some areas are acccessible by steps Bring water, walking shoes even though there is not much walking, hat and sunscreen. The center offered a museum and gift shop. The museum includes interactive activities for adults and for kids. Kids can build their own drawing of a rocket ship and followed the path of a rocket shift in an interactive exhibit. The gift shop offers, educational kids, activities, postcards, hats, and trademark T-shirts.

Must do in Kourou, super interesting tour of the facilities. Normally English explanations can be given at bus stops but my group was smaller, so one of the guides was so nice to offer to sit next to me and give me explanations on the go. The tour mostly takes place on the bus and took for me about 2.5 hours.

Attended the French Guyana Space Centre tour which took about 3.5 hours including registration and waiting time. Tour was very interesting with background and history of the rocket launches and visits to the different rocket launch pads by bus. The tour was conducted in French but the tour guide was very gracious and kind to separately explain to me in English. Fascinating and worthwhile tour

The guided visit happens twice a day and requires reservations in advance. No English information provided, i think such a important would do a better job with non french speaking.

I couldn’t leave my backpack anywhere. It even had the sign of a wardrobe on a door but they just kept saying “non”, while laughing. So I had to leave. Probably because I spoke in english and not french. Confirms the stereotype of french people!

Tour is a bit boring. But still a must visit place..

The tours are currently not possible as a launch is being prepared for the first quarter of 2025! A real disappointment and one wonders how tours impact months long launch preparations (others launch rockets every other day). Seems like a travel back in time :-). As for the museum, great for small kids with lots of educational exhibits but really not interesting for someone interested in past and current space science and technology. Better go to any of the NASA sites…

You need to book in advance and it's for free. Visiting actual used places are very cool. If you don't speak French, I recommend you to get some knowledge before. It's said both French and English however 95% of the time is in French and you can't get explanation in English that much. You can ask questions but the time is limited.

Nice expo lobated in the guiane space center. Not huge but there are some good information regarding the construction and operation of the place

Saddened to see this place is temporarily closed. I took a wonderful tour here, albeit in French, but it was well worth it.

Nice exhibition and worth visiting

Superficial content presented in the exhibits. Much signifcantly out of date material and some inaccurate diagrams. Huge disappointment because the ESA has a good story to tell. Not worth the time spent (unless you're under the age of 12 because they also have exhibits designed for kids).

Wonderful place worth visiting One should book in advance for the guided tour in English and french.it is free and the total duration will be around 3 hours.

Very interesting engraved rocks and an informative museum. Free.

Nice museum with a comprehensive overview of the history of French Guiana. All in French though.

It is very nice to see some testimony of the past from the native population.it is a pity it is not well preserved

Excelent old signs 😋

Ok

Cool

Ok

(Translated by Google) Not much to see except dying fish... (Original) Pas grand chose à voir à part des poissons mourrants...

(Translated by Google) The Dreyfus Tower, the Roches, this beach, only good memories. (Original) La tour Dreyfus, les Roches, cette plage que de bons souvenirs.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place (Original) Très belle endroit

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place!! (Original) Endroit magnifique !!

(Translated by Google) Beach ok. Nice surrounding environment. Beautiful view of the rockets taking off. Poor water quality, a lot of waste in the water and on the beach at low tide. The parking lot is well designed for barbecue games for children and a shower for rinsing off, which is very rare on the beaches Guyanese. Very good evening to witness the takeoff of the rocket. (Original) Plage correct. Environement autour sympas.Belle vue du décollage des fusées. Qualité de l'eau mediocre, beaucoup de déchets dans l"eau et sur la plage à marée basse. Le parking est bien conçu carnet pour faire des barbecue jeux pour enfant et une douche pour ce rincer, ce qui est très rare sur les plages guyanaise. Tres bonsoir pour assister au décollage de la fusée.

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant beach, a real pleasure to spend a good time there (Original) Plage très agréable un vrai bonheur d'y passer un bon moment

(Translated by Google) Great viewpoint (Original) Super point de vue

(Translated by Google) Ideal spot for a first discovery of nature, also a beautiful loop for trail training; varied terrain a bit of D, possible to test your sticks there, for the animals I think there are too many passages, there are not many, but nice reward at the top with a beautiful panorama. At the moment a lot of mud at the bottom but possible to ride well on the heights. Clean trail but a few shoe soles lying around, plogging enthusiasts take a bag! (Original) Spot idéal pour une première decouverte de la nature, egalement une belle boucle pour entrainement trail ; terrain varié un peu de D, possible d y tester ses batons, pour les animaux je pense qu il y a trop de passages, il n y en a pas beacoup, mais belle recompense au sommet avec un beau panorama. En ce moment beaucoup de boue en bas mais possible de bien derouler sur les hauteurs. Sentier propre mais quelques semelles de chaussures qui trainent, adeptes du plogging prenez un sac !

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant trail to discover nature and with a little observation of monkeys, birds and sloths. The view is breathtaking! (Original) Sentier très agréable pour découvrir la nature et avec un peu d'observation singes, oiseaux et paresseux. Le point de vue est à couper le souffle !

(Translated by Google) Nice big walk or short hike depending on preferences We started with the short section to reach the viewpoint via the botanical trail. Lots of signs to familiarize us with the vegetation while being greeted by toucan songs. Afterwards, the point of view is worth it! It goes up very hard the last 300 meters. But the view over all of Kourou, the CSG and the surrounding area is worth it. The return is less complicated and the trails are still not perfectly passable, especially after periods of rain. Make sure you wear suitable, waterproof shoes. BE CAREFUL: we saw a snake crossing less than 10m from us and it seemed like it was a grage tiles but not sure! It couldn't be more deadly in the event of a bite... Bring a stick, in some places the vegetation hides the path which makes the potential danger closer. (Original) Belle grosse promenade ou petite randonnée selon les préférences Nous avons commencé par la portion courte pour arriver au point de vue en passant par le sentier botanique. Beaucoup de panneaux pour nous familiariser avec la végétation tout en étant accueilli par des chants de toucans. Par la suite, le point de vue se mérite ! Ca monte très dur les 300 derniers mètres. Mais la vue sur tout Kourou, le CSG et les alentours vaut le coup. Le retour est moins compliqué et les sentiers ne sont toujours pas parfaitement praticable surtout après des périodes de pluie. Bien prévoir des chaussures adéquates et imperméables. ATTENTION : nous avons vu un serpent traverser à moins de 10m de nous et il semblait que c'était un grage carreaux mais pas sûr ! On ne peut pas plus mortel en cas de morsure ... Prévoyez un bâton, à certains endroit la végétation cache le sentier ce qui rend le potentiel danger plus proche.

(Translated by Google) Don't go there in flip-flops, you might also come across a Theraphosa, the largest spider in the world, 30 cm wingspan and then it climbs. Didn't see any monkeys during the walk, but beautiful vegetation (Original) N'y allez pas en tongs, vous pourriez tomber vous aussi tomber sur une Theraphosa, plus grosse araignée du monde, 30 cm d'envergure et puis ca grimpe. Pas vu de singe pendant la ballade, mais une belle végétation

(Translated by Google) Short, easy hike at the end of the afternoon. Just saw the monkeys in the distance and a spider at the entrance to the cabin. Probably not the right time. (Original) Petite rando facile en fin d'après-midi. Juste aperçu les singes au loin et une araignée à l'entrée du carbet. Pas la bonne heure sûrement.

(Translated by Google) A trail to absolutely discover when you are in the Kourou region. Good introduction to the forest in Guyana, in complete autonomy. Bring good shoes, it's climbable and can slip after the rain. Excellent vantage point for daytime rocket firing. (Original) Un sentier à découvrir absolument lorsqu'on est dans la région de Kourou. Bonne introduction à la forêt en Guyane, en toute autonomie. Prévoyez de bonnes chaussures, ça grimpe et cela peut glisser après la pluie. Excellent point de vue pour les tirs de fusées de jour.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful walk not far from Kourou. There is the possibility of choosing between the short course and the long one. For athletes, you can also do it by running but there is a significant difference in altitude. It takes around 40 minutes for the averagely trained to reach the summit via the long route (running). In good weather you can see all the way to the Salvation Islands. We can clearly see the installations of the Guiana Space Center up to the VEGA and Ariane 5 launch sets. (Original) Belle promenade pas loin de Kourou. Il y la possibilité de choisir entre le parcours court et le long. Pour les sportifs on peut la faire en courant aussi mais il y un fort dénivelés. Il faut compter pour les moyennement entraînés environ 40 minutes pour arriver au sommet via le long parcours (en courant) . Par beau temps on arrive à voir jusqu'au îles du Salut. On voit très bien les installations du Centre Spatial Guyanais jusqu'à les ensembles de lancement VEGA et Ariane 5.

Small but interesting: orchids, vanilla and some birdwatching possible.

Beautiful garden with two passionate staff who happily share more about their work and the plants/flowers/trees. Count about 1 to 1.5 hours visiting.

Nice quiet space to contemplate local flora. Expensive for what it is. Nice, friendly staff.

Very good

(Translated by Google) An enriching and magnificent visit! The French Guiana Botanical Garden is a true gem. The staff are exceptionally kind, passionate about their environment, and take the time to share their knowledge with enthusiasm and pedagogy. You learn a lot about French Guiana's plants and their natural interactions. The garden is absolutely magnificent. Each plant finds its place in perfect harmony, like a tropical permaculture system. You feel a true osmosis between the species; it's fascinating! A magical moment during the visit: we were lucky enough to observe a mother sloth with her baby, a moment suspended in time. The garden is still evolving: an area dedicated to prehistoric plants with dinosaur skeletons is currently being installed, promising an even more spectacular visit in the future! There is also a section of the garden dedicated to cacti, carnivorous plants, and vanilla cultivation. As a bonus, a small tasting of homemade rum is offered at the end, with the opportunity to purchase local vanilla. An exciting experience led by dedicated and environmentally conscious individuals. Not to be missed! (Original) Une visite enrichissante et magnifique ! Le Jardin botanique de Guyane est une véritable perle. Le personnel est d’une gentillesse rare, passionnés par leur environnement, et prennent le temps de partager leurs connaissances avec enthousiasme et pédagogie. On y apprend énormément sur les plantes guyanaises et leurs interactions naturelles. Le jardin est absolument magnifique. Chaque plante y trouve sa place dans une harmonie parfaite, à la manière d’un système de permaculture tropicale. On ressent une vraie osmose entre les espèces, c’est fascinant ! Moment magique pendant la visite : nous avons eu la chance d’observer une maman paresseux avec son petit, un petit instant suspendu. Le jardin évolue encore : une zone consacrée aux plantes préhistoriques avec des squelettes de dinosaures est en cours d’installation, cela promet une visite encore plus spectaculaire à l’avenir ! Il y a également une partie du jardin sur les cactus, les plantes carnivores et la culture de la vanille. En bonus, une petite dégustation de rhum arrangé maison est proposée à la fin, avec possibilité d’acheter de la vanille locale. Une expérience passionnante portée par des personnes investies et soucieuses de l’environnement. À ne pas manquer !

(Translated by Google) The owner showed us around the garden. He was passionate and fascinating. We were able to discover many plants and flowers. We were also able to experience three different types of vanilla and taste a locally produced vanilla rum. A wonderful experience. (Original) Le propriétaire nous a fait visiter le jardin. Passionné et passionnant. Nous avons pu découvrir de nombreuses plantes et fleurs. Nous avons également pu faire l'expérience de découvrir 3 types et vanilles et de déguster un rhum vanillé de production locale. Très belle expérience

(Translated by Google) A new experience to live. The entire garden is based on the principle of symbiosis. No chemical or unnatural treatments. The staff is passionate and very friendly. Highly recommended! (Original) Nouvelle expérience à vivre. Tout le jardin est basé sur le principe de symbiose. Pas de traitement chimique ou non-naturel. Le personnel est passionné et très aimable. A recommander!

It is so fun to feel like you are walking through the jungle for this zoo. I’m from the US, so seeing the animals that are more native to southern America was interesting to me! Make sure to check out the rope bridge along the path (it can be a little easy to miss if you aren’t looking). I think it’s worth a try for anyone in Guyane looking for something fun!

Excellent zoo providing animals with ample and clean space resembling natural habitat as well as having enough distance from visitors, yet they are still close enough for an intimate experience.

I think if it is your first time in French Guiana or in the jungle/amazon forest this should be your starting point. The staff is incredibly nice, they were speaking english and also suggested other places worth visiting around. In the zoo there are a lot of bueatifull animals, thankfully as I have understood there are in the zoo because of animal rescue (mostly). Fortunately there are a lot of English descriptions. I really liked the jungle around it was almost like a meditation exercise

It's a good way to know and see all the animals in Guiana especially pumas, Jaguars and eagles since it's almost impossible and too dangerous to see in the wild however closures are small in general. It's almost impossible for some birds to fly freely so I hope they'll change the environment for them.

It's a nice trip to see the local animals, but some windows were kinda dirty and also some animals were missing. All in all I recommend if you want to know about guyane. Also saw some of the monkeys irl in the jungle after so that was cool.

I had a very good time over here

Had a great time seeing all the animals a fun and engaging experience for all ages.

(Translated by Google) Small, easy and nice route passing through the penal colony. At the end there is a river where it is possible to swim and sit around a table for lunch. (Original) Petit parcours facile et sympa en passant par le bagne. Au bout il y’a une rivière où il est possible de faire une baignade et de ce poser autour d’une table pour déjeuner.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful walk that can be done with the family, well-maintained path, information panels and possibilities for swimming in Eel Creek by going a few more kilometers. (Original) Très belle ballade faisable en famille, sentier bien entretenu, panneaux d'explications et possibilités de baignade à la crique anguille en faisant quelques kilomètres de plus.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful 2 hour walk in the forest from the parking lot to the creek and back. About halfway through you can visit the remains of the penal colony: the latrines in short. A tip: leave early like 6 a.m., there is no one there so you can listen to the birdsong. (Original) Magnifique promenade de 2 heures dans la forêt depuis le parking jusqu'à la crique et retour. A peu près à mi parcours on peut visiter les vestiges du bagne: les latrines en résumé. Un conseil: partir tôt genre 6 heures du matin, il n'y a personne ce qui vous permettra d'écouter le chant des oiseaux.

(Translated by Google) Pleasant walk but don't in any way think about hoping to see animals during the hike. Indeed, friendly people speak loudly, walk their dogs and the children make noise...so only for the walk unless you come at daybreak...that's surely what we will do ... (Original) Balade agréable mais ne pensez en aucune manière espérer voir des animaux durant la randonnée. En effet des personnes au demeurant sympathiques parlent fort, promènent leurs chiens et les enfants font du bruit...donc uniquement pour la promenade à moins de venir au lever du jour......c'est sûrement ce qu'on fera ...

(Translated by Google) Great trail full of stories and as a bonus we get to see a creek at the end of the trail! Brilliant (Original) Super sentier remplies d’histoires et en prime nous avons droit à une crique en fin de parcours ! Génial

(Translated by Google) Lovely walk in this splendid forest with a cove at the end for a little swim (Original) Jolie balade dans cette forêt splendide au bout une crique pour un petit bain

(Translated by Google) Easy trail but which plunges into the forest and the cruel history of the colonies. The remains of this establishment called "Annamites' prison", although modest, as well as the explanation tables which line the route, say a lot about this former human hell built in the middle of the green hell! (Original) Sentier facile mais qui plonge dans la forêt et dans l'histoire cruelle des colonies. Les vestiges de cet établissement appelé "bagne des annamites" bien que modestes ainsi que les tables d'explications qui jalonnent le parcours en disent long sur cet ex enfer humain construit au milieu de l'enfer vert !

How many centuries ago was this a harbor?

There’s really nothing to see here

(Translated by Google) It’s a beautiful place to watch the sunset. Be careful there are mosquitoes 🦟 (Original) C’est un endroit magnifique pour regarder le coucher du soleil. Attention il y a des moustiques 🦟

(Translated by Google) That name but which opens onto the end of the river with beautiful wildlife, we saw red ibises and a multitude of mangrove crabs. A nice spot! (Original) Que le nom mais qui ouvre sur la fin du fleuve avec une belle faune, nous avons vu des ibis rouge et une multitude de crabes des mangrove. Un joli spot !

(Translated by Google) I have visited this place several times, most of the time the sea is at low tide so you will only see mud, some bushes and mudskippers, the smell is not good at all, there is no has no chairs or places to sit. Small, spreading bushes make fishing difficult and you will lose a lot of tackle because your fishing line will constantly get stuck in these bushes. (Original) J'ai visité cet endroit plusieurs fois, la plupart du temps la mer est à marée basse donc vous ne verrez que de la boue, quelques buissons et des mudskippers, l'odeur n'y est pas bonne du tout, il n'y a pas de chaises ni d'endroits pour s'asseoir. Les petits buissons étalés rendent la pêche difficile et vous perdrez beaucoup de matériel car votre ligne de pêche restera constamment coincée dans ces buissons.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately the vegetation has taken over, we can no longer see anything (Original) Malheureusement la vegetation a pris le dessus on ne voit plus rien

(Translated by Google) Apart from the quayside, there is no port infrastructure. For careening operations, you have to go to Larivot. Let's just say that the advantage of this old port is its proximity to the city center. (Original) En dehors du quai, il n'y a aucune infrastructure portuaire. Pour les manutentions de carénage il faut se rendre au Larivot. Disons que l'avantage de ce vieux port, c'est la proximité du centre ville.

Great views and a very informative display on the history of Cayenne and the interaction between the first European explorers until today.

Nice views of the city. The fot itself is not so impressive. Nice murals

Fort is named after Cépérou, a celebrated indigenous chief and was built in 1643 to protect the city of Cayenne. Required some easy uphill climbing to reach the fort. Good panoramic view of Cayenne Town. Free entry. Saw a family enjoying a picnic at site in Sunday afternoon.

Nice place with a good view

A small nice place with a panoramic view. Not much is written down about the history of the place but it has a nice atmosphere.

Not much to see there except views of the town. Free entry. There were some weird guys around noon when I went to the fort, they started to talk to me in a hostile way with brazilian accent. Luckily nothing happened as there were other people around, but I felt I could have been attacked or robbed (that's the downside of the French policy of "multiculturalism" and "open doors"). Be careful.

Nice view of the city, but not much to see at the fort.

Wanted to like it, but there wasn’t much to see. Only €3 and clean toilets though.

The front desk did not even bother to close his phone and speak to us. He told us we are close ( half an hour before closing time)

Super!

That's ok

(Translated by Google) Mixed review for this museum located right next to Place des Palmistes The strong points: - The place, an old Creole house which puts us in a special atmosphere - a superb collection of insects which is worth the detour - stuffed animals which are also worth the detour because they are specific to the species found in Guyana - some beautiful works on the history of Guyana and slavery The weak points: - The museum needs a refresh, we feel the lack of resources - a lack of explanations and information. For insects I find it a shame that we cannot have the name of each species. This lack of information is found throughout the museum, which nevertheless offers very interesting themes. Way to go deeper! (Original) Avis mitigé pour ce musée situé juste à côté de la place des palmistes Les points forts : - Les lieux, une vieille maison créole ce qui nous met dans une ambiance à part - une superbe collection d'insectes qui vaut le détour - des animaux naturalisés qui valent eux-aussi le détour car propres aux espèces rencontrées en Guyane - quelques belles oeuvres sur l'histoire de la Guyane et l'esclavage Les points faibles : - Le musée aurait besoin d'un rafraîchissement, on sent le manque de moyens - un manque d'explications, d'informations. Pour les insectes je trouve dommage qu'on ne puisse pas avoir le nom de chaque espèce. Ce manque d'information se retrouve sur tout le musée qui propose pourtant des thèmes très intéressants. Moyen d'approfondir davantage !

(Translated by Google) Museum located in a period colonial house. Interesting temporary exhibition and presentation of wildlife. A brief glimpse into the history of French Guiana is also included. We were welcomed by the director, who explained that this is a very old site, once a cabinet of curiosities. The insect collection is impressive; they are currently cataloguing each piece so we can have more information. Very good, and an hour is enough, near Place des Palmistes. (Original) Musée situé dans une maison coloniale d’époque. Exposition temporaire intéressante et présentation de la faune. Un petit passage aussi dans l’histoire de la Guyane. Accueil par le directeur qui nous explique qu’il s’agit d’un site très ancien autrefois cabinet de curiosités. La collection d’insectes est impressionnante, ils sont en train de recenser chaque pièce pour que l’on ait plus d’information. Très bien, et 1H suffit, près de la place des Palmistes.

(Translated by Google) A very informative museum. Exceptional presentation of the species found in the area. Welcoming and helpful staff who provided us with very interesting explanations and were able to answer our questions. (Original) Musée très enrichissant. Présentation exceptionnelle des espèces présentes sur le territoire. Personnel accueillant et disponible qui nous a donné des explications très intéressantes et a su répondre à nos questions.

We only stopped a couple of hours and expected to try the local cuisine but it's more Caribbean style than Typical Guyanese or amazonian cuisine and then a bit expensive for what it is. On the other hand the service was very friendly and quite fast.

Very nice back yard especially in a hot day. Go for the front patio in the evening with a nice view over the Palmiste Square with the light streets on and people buzzing around. "Crevette cocktail" is the specialty item of the menu and it is highly recommended in this place. Don't expect the best of the service though!

I had a wonderful stay here. I got lucky and room no. 1 was available. A nice room with a lot of detail. The breakfast is easy. All in all a wonderful stay.

Not worth the money they're charging for the hotel room. At least not until construction is complete as they're creating new rooms on the 3rd floor. There is no elevator and the stairways are long. Construction noise starts at 8am and the hallways have plenty of sawdust. The wifi doesn't get as far as the rooms.

These French people were very barbaric and were very unhelpful. The internet didn't work. Everyone in the restaurant and hotel was rude. I wish they go out of business. You pay a lot of money and get nothing of value in return. Buy a tent and sleep outside. At least you won't have to deal with those nasty French people.

Heritage Charm The hotel is housed in a lovely heritage building, which by itself is a sightseeing tourist attraction. The property alludes charm and character from every nook and corner - be it the lovely restaurant and killer terrace seating, or the decor of the room and the common areas. Definitely, the best option in town, if you are looking for a historic vibe but don't want to splurge a lot. However. the biggest letdown of the stay was the extremely poor connectivity. The Internet barely worked. Television never functioned due to very weak signals. And even the credit card machine was struggling because of weak connectivity. Apart from this, the hotel is a jewel in the old town. The reason i am giving 3 stars is because of the weak connectivity and the poor hospitality & service. LOCATION: IN the very heart of the old town DINE + DRINK: The Bar Palmistes is THE place in town - to see and be seen. The vibe in the evening (especially in the balcony) is just too fantastic to be missed! ROOM: We stayed in Room 1, so this review is based on that; VIEW:Lovely view of the Place des Palmistes and the swinging Coconut trees and colonial buildings; SIZE: Spacious enough for 2 adults and simple baggage; AIR-CON: Perfectly functioning cooler that helped in setting the perfect room temperature; BED: Comfortable bed that played the expected part of putting me to sleep; BATHROOM: Stand-in shower; TOILETRIES: Cosmetics by L’occitane! FACILITIES: No Gym or Pool, Pure Guyanese chill SERVICE: Friendly staff that took care of all our needs with a smile, but in general the service levels of the restaurant and bar staff can improve a lot! Speed or service, attention to customers, and ability to tackle foreign visitors - all great areas for improvement!

+ nice location, with patio and view to the main square + nice ti' punch :) + relaxed atmosphere + the food was quite good - prices a tad too high (except for the ti' punch) - it might take a bit long to be served

If you think of what would be possible when the amazonian rain forest is around the corner than it makes no sence to walk there to not really see much.

Not much to see, but still Nice to walk around. No entrance fee.

Frankly, these gardens were not too well kept. Many of the sidewalks were cracked, and there wasn't too much foliage or plant life.

Half of the area is closed ... but it is for free

Open only on weekends from 11 am

Tell others about your experience....

A pleasant place to spend an afternoon. Lots of information (in French) about the various trees and plants of French Guiana.

(Translated by Google) Restaurant that doesn't look like much in the middle of the Hyper U shopping mall. All the cuisine is homemade, on site and fresh. We ate well there, the service was good and the atmosphere was okay. (Original) Restaurant qui ne paie pas de mine au millieu de la galerie marchande du Hyper U. Tout la cuisine est faite maison, sur place et frais. Nous y avons bien mangé, le service était bon et l'ambiance correct.

(Translated by Google) This restaurant has been tempting me for a while, it's nice, but I didn't particularly like the dishes. My friend liked it, so it's a question of taste! (Original) Ce restaurant me tentait depuis un moment, c'est sympa, mais je n'ai pas particulièrement accroché aux plats. Mon ami a bien aimé, donc c'est une question de goût !

(Translated by Google) An excellent, very friendly address and melting and tasty cuisine. I ate superbly well (Original) Une excellente adresse fort sympathique et une cuisine fondante et goûteuse. J'ai superbement bien mangé

(Translated by Google) Great place for lunch, I'm never disappointed, the dishes are very good, local products are also highlighted, it's faultless from starter to dessert (even the bread is excellent). The quality of the products and the warm welcome make us completely forget the fact of being in a shopping mall (positive point, the place is quiet and air-conditioned). We arrived at midday and were served quickly. The restaurant also offers homemade products for sale to take away. I can only recommend this high quality restaurant on Cayenne. (Original) Super adresse pour déjeuner, je ne suis jamais déçue, les plats sont très bons, les produits locaux sont également mis en avant , c'est un sans faute de l'entrée jusqu'au dessert ( même le pain est excellent). La qualité des produits et l'acceuil chaleureux nous fait carrément oublier le fait d'être dans une galerie commerciale ( point positif, le lieu est calme et climatisé). Nous sommes arrivés à midi et nous avons été servis rapidement. Le restaurant propose également à la vente des produits faits maison à emporter. Je ne peux que recommander ce restaurant de grande qualité sur Cayenne.

(Translated by Google) We went to eat for the first time based on the reviews we read on Google. We were disappointed with our dishes. My husband had the salad of the day which had no taste and as for me I had the duck breast which was much overcooked served with vegetable puree which was too salty. We found it to be really expensive for what it is. (Original) Nous sommes allés manger pour une première fois par rapport aux avis lu sur Google. Nous avons été déçu par nos plats. Mon mari a pris la salade du jour qui n’avait aucun goût et quant à moi j’avais pris le magret de canard qui était beaucoup trop cuite servi avec de la purée de légumes trop salé. Nous avons trouvé que c’était vraiment cher pour ce que c’est.

(Translated by Google) It was SUPER GOOD. I recommend the 7am lamb and the Liège mousse. Very nice welcome! (Original) C'était SUPER BON. Je conseille l'agneau de 7h et la mousse liégeoise. Accueil très sympa!

(Translated by Google) A great discovery in Guyana!! Impeccable service, delicious and hearty meal! Congratulations to the chef, we will come back with pleasure (Original) Une belle découverte en Guyane !!service impeccable ,repas délicieux et copieux !bravo au chef ,nous reviendrons avec plaisir

Beautiful place and quiet

(Translated by Google) I really like it, however I would have liked some infrastructure with deckchairs, finally some tourist facilities... the color of the water is not appealing and at the time of writing this message there is a decree prohibiting swimming for health reasons... I won't even mention the waste, it's just a disgrace... and in this case we can't blame the tourists... there aren't any! (Original) J'aime beaucoup cependant j'aurais aimé qques infrastructures avec des transat enfin des équipements touristiques.. la couleur de l'eau ne fais pas envie et au moment ou je rédige ce message il y a un arrêté interdisant la baignade pour raison sanitaire..je ne vous parle pas des déchets c'est juste une honte...et la pour le coup on ne peut ps accuser les touristes .. y'en a pas!

(Translated by Google) We arrived in the morning around 6:30 a.m. to possibly witness the emergence of baby leatherback turtles, and we were lucky enough to find them emerging from the sand and heading towards the ocean for a long journey. The presence of a woman from a turtle protection association made the experience even better because she explained to us why we shouldn't help the baby turtles when they were struggling (they develop their muscles from the nest to the ocean, and helping them by carrying them to the water would handicap them later in the water). Everyone was respectful, and our presence probably scared off the birds, which allowed the whole group to reach the sea safely. It was a wonderful experience. (Original) Nous sommes arrivés le matin vers 6h30 pour éventuellement pouvoir assister à une émergence de bébé tortues luth et nous avons eu la chance de les trouver en train d’émerger du sable et se diriger vers l’océan pour un long voyage, la présence d’une dame d’une association de protection de tortues a rendu l’expérience encore meilleure car elle nous a expliqué ce pourquoi il ne fallait pas aider les bebe tortues quand elles galéraient (elles développent leurs muscles du nid jusqu’à l’océan et les aider en le portant jusqu’à l’eau les handicaperaient plus tard dans l’eau.) tout le monde a été respectueux et notre présence a probablement fait fuir les oiseaux ce qui a permis à tout le groupe de se rendre à la mer sain et sauf. Ce fut une magnifique expérience.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful beach with parking nearby. You can dip your feet in, but swimming is rather risky. A great place to spend some quality time in the sun, fishing, or just doing nothing 😁 (Original) Belle plage avec de la place pour garer sa voiture a proximité. On peut y tremper ses pieds mais la baignade est plutôt risquée. Un bon endroit pour passer du bon temps au soleil a pêcher ou a ne rien faire 😁

(Translated by Google) Very pretty beach with a nice length for strolling along the water. Calm and full of palm trees. (Original) Très joli plage avec une belle longueur pour se balader le long de l'eau. Calme et plein de palmiers .

(Translated by Google) Very nice beach We were able to see a turtle laying eggs (Original) Très belle plage On a pu voir la ponte d'une tortue

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful beach! Go there one evening, the sunset is magnificent and maybe you'll see some turtles fighting there 😉 (Original) Très belle plage ! Allez y faire un tour un soir le coucher de soleil est magnifique et peut-être y verrez vous des tortues luttes 😉

Wide and easy path most of the route. Some narrower paths in the main route along with slippery rocks. Detour route to Fort Diamant is more narrow and sometimes blocked by trees

Lovely loop, tons of lush vegetation and some wildlife.

Woow I like the

(Translated by Google) A magnificent trail to discover! The route offers an exceptional natural setting with breathtaking landscapes and superb viewpoints along the way. It's an ideal walk for nature and hiking lovers. However, it's important to note that during rainy weather, the trail can become quite muddy, making it more slippery and difficult to access. Wear sturdy shoes and be extra careful in these conditions! (Original) Un sentier magnifique à découvrir ! Le parcours offre un cadre naturel exceptionnel avec des paysages à couper le souffle et de superbes points de vue tout au long du chemin. C’est une balade idéale pour les amoureux de la nature et de la randonnée. Toutefois, il est important de noter qu’en période de pluie, le sentier peut devenir assez boueux, ce qui le rend plus glissant et difficile d’accès. Prévoir de bonnes chaussures et un peu plus de prudence dans ces conditions !

(Translated by Google) Magnificent trail that I highly recommend! Between total immersion in nature, view of the sea, lake, exotic animals (birds, monkeys, sloths if you have the eye, morpho butterfly, lizards and others ...) and finally, after the small carbet or picnic, you come across a small waterfall which arrives at the right time to refresh yourself before finishing the walk. It is breathtaking and the trail is very well marked with regular explanatory signs ☀️ (Original) Magnifique sentier que je vous conseille vivement ! Entre immersion totale dans la nature, point de vue sur la mer, lac, animaux exotiques (oiseaux, singes, paresseux si vous avez l’œil, papillon morpho, lézards et autres…) et pour finir, après le petit carbet ou pique-niquer, vous tombez sur une petite cascade qui arrive au bon moment pour se rafraîchir avant de terminer la balade. C’est à couper le souffle et le sentier est très bien balisé avec des panneaux explicatifs réguliers☀️

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful trail, without any difficulty, well shaded with beautiful views of the ocean and the reservoir. The path is well marked and has a picnic shelter halfway along the way. We observed a squirrel monkey, a stick insect, a tomcat, and a multitude of birds. We completed it in 2 hours and 10 minutes, with 50 minutes of very slow walking to look for any sloths, so I think it can easily be done in 1 hour 30 minutes or 40 minutes. Easy parking at the bottom of the trailhead; I highly recommend it 😊 (Original) Très beau sentier, sans aucune difficulté, bien ombragé avec de belles vues sur l'océan et la retenue d'eau. Le chemin est bien balisé et possède un carbet picnic à mi parcours. Nous y avons observé un saïmiri, un phasme, une matoutou et une multitude d'oiseaux. Nous l'avons fait en 2h10 avec 50min de marche très lente pour chercher les éventuels paresseux donc je pense qu'il se fait aisément en 01h30/40. Parking facile au pied du départ, je recommande vivement 😊

(Translated by Google) I had already gone with Tropic Alizés to visit Ilet la Mère and it had been great, and I highly recommend going with them also to visit the Îles du Salut - I had booked with another provider the first time, and I clearly won in the exchange. Super welcoming, funny team who explain the history of the Islands and Bagne to introduce the day. The boat is very well appointed and comfortable, the day was well paced, it was great! We would have hoped for a little more of this famous ti'ponch but it seems that it spoils the day... (Original) J'étais déjà partie avec Tropic Alizés visiter Ilet la mère et ça avait été top, et je recommande chaudement de partir avec eux également pour visiter les Îles du Salut - j'avais réservé avec un autre prestataire la première fois, et j'ai clairement gagné au change. Équipe super accueillante, rigolote et qui explique l'histoires des Îles et du Bagne pour introduire la journée. Le bateau est très bien agencé et confortable, la journée rythmée comme il faut, c'était top! On aurait espéré un peu plus de ce fameux ti'ponch mais il paraît que ça gâche la journée...

(Translated by Google) An unforgettable moment for the whole family! A top guide/pilot/bartender! We loved everything, the crossing, the short hike around the island and especially the proximity with the cute and friendly monkeys! (Original) Un moment inoubliable pour toute la famille ! Un guide/pilote/barman au top ! Nous avons tout aimé, la traversée, la petite randonnée autour de l’île et surtout la proximité avec les singes si mignons et si gentils !

(Translated by Google) Superb memorable day, with Julien as captain and Kalvin the captain of the small boat. We had a memorable day, team attentive, everything was clear, the little snack was great... my family was satisfied with this service from start to finish. (Original) Superbe journée mémorable, avec comme capitaine Julien et Kalvin le capitaine du petit bateau. On a passé une journée mémorable, équipe à l'écoute tout été clair, la petite collation top... ma famille été satisfaite de cette prestation du début à la fin.

(Translated by Google) Superb excursion! The crew, Julien and Morgane, are exceptional, very professional and friendly. We were picked up in Kourou by Zodiac for boarding the catamaran. The ride was smooth, with clear and precise explanations and brief historical accounts of the islands. The boatman was very good. I highly recommend this excursion to the Salvation Islands. (Original) Superbe excursion ! L'équipage, très professionnel et très amical, est composé de Julien et Morgane, qui sont exceptionnels. La prise en charge à Kourou s'est faite en zodiac pour l'embarquement sur le catamaran. La navigation a été calme, accompagnée d'explications claires et précises, ainsi que de petits récits historiques sur les îles. Le planteur était très bons. Je recommande vivement cette excursion pour les Îles du Salut.

(Translated by Google) Visit to the island Mother as a couple, Alex took us. Super nice, he showed us porpoises and told the history of the different islands. The walk on the island is incredible and rich in animals. The little aperitif on the way back was appreciated! Thanks Alex! (Original) Visite de l’ilet Mère en couple, Alex nous a emmené. Super gentil, il nous a fait voir des marsouins et raconté l’histoire des différentes îles. La balade sur l’île est incroyable et riche en animaux. Le petit apéro au retour fut apprécié ! Merci Alex !

(Translated by Google) Absolutely avoid! Even though I paid for the service and provided proof of the voucher, the captain declared that I wasn't on the passenger list. After asking to wait for everyone to settle in, he conceded that I could sit with my intern behind the galley, as if it were a favor, even though I had the message from the agency specifying that the captain's supervisor confirmed that we were on the list. As we were disembarking on the island, Captain Joël suddenly became angry while we were isolated behind the galley, demanding cash on the grounds that proof of the transfer hadn't been brought. Fortunately, unlike other phone companies, I had signal reception, and I was able to prove the transfer. The crossing continued with a heavy heart. Upon arrival, the captain invited people to leave positive reviews, and looking at us both, he added, as if to challenge us again, "or negative." I hesitated to file a complaint against what I considered to be an attempted scam. The next day, I had also booked Ilet La Mère and waited in vain for the boat. Obviously, I was so docile that both the company and the captain walked all over me. (Original) À fuir absolument ! Alors que j’ai payé la prestation et que je justifiais du bon, le capitaine de décrété que je n’étais pas sur la liste des passagers et après avoir demande d’attendre que tout le monde s’installe, il a concédé que je puisse m’installer avec ma stagiaire derrière la cuisine, comme si c’était une faveur alors que j’avais le message de l’agence qui précisait que la responsable du capitaine confirmait que nous étions sur la liste. Au moment de débarquer sur l’île le capitaine Joël s’est subitement emporté alors que nous étions isolées derrière la cuisine en exigeant du cash au motif que la preuve du virement n’était pas rapportée. Heureusement que je captais contrairement à d’autres opérateurs téléphoniques et j ai pu prouver le virement. La traversée s’est poursuivie avec un énorme pincement au cœur. En arrivant le capitaine a invité à déposer des avis positifs et en nous regardant toutes les deux il a ajouté, comme pour nous défier encore, « ou négatif ». J’ai hésité à déposer plainte contre ce que je considère être une tentative d’escroquerie. Le lendemain j’avais aussi réservé l’îlet la mère et j ai attendu en vain le bateau. Manifestement, j’ai été tellement docile que la compagnie comme le capitaine m’ont marché dessus.

(Translated by Google) An unforgettable moment on L'îlet la Mère. The squirrel monkeys are very docile. Thanks to Joël, who knew how to liven up the boat with his legendary humor and his helpful recommendations for the island. Refreshing drinks on board. (Original) Un moment inoubliable sur L'îlet la mère, les Saïmiris sont très dociles. Merci à Joël, qui a su mettre l'ambiance sur le bateau grâce à son humour légendaire ainsi que ses bonnes recommandations à appliquer sur l'île. Boissons rafraîchissante à bord.

(Translated by Google) Departure around 1 p.m. from Degrad Des Cannes. After 30 minutes of navigation, we arrive on the Islet la Mère. We took the path going around the islet. Lots of windfall but without real difficulty. Hiking shoes recommended +++ The Saïmiris are present throughout the route and mainly climb on people carrying backpacks. Very pretty view. The afternoon goes by very quickly! (Original) Départ vers 13h au Degrad Des Cannes. Après 30 minutes de navigation, nous arrivons sur l'îlet la Mère. Nous avons pris le chemin du sentier faisant le tour de l'îlet. Beaucoup de chablis mais sans réelle difficulté. Chaussures de randonnées conseillées +++ Les Saïmiris sont présents tout au long du parcours et montent surtout sur les personnes portant des sacs à dos. Très jolie vue. L'après-midi passe très vite !

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant visit. We were able to enjoy the beach and swim. & The monkeys were adorable. (Original) Visite, super agréable. Nous avons pu profiter de la plage et nous baigner. & Les singes étaient adorables.

(Translated by Google) Superb experience. Well, it's the fifth time, but it's always a pleasure to see these little monkeys, who climb on you. Departure in the morning for 40 minutes by boat, along the river and seeing very pretty landscapes. Once arrived, we took the main path that goes around the island, accompanied by the monkeys, who are on the lookout for the slightest crumb that might come out of your bag. After 2 hours, picnic on a small beach, alone in the world, with the sky and the water as the only horizon. Moreover, you will have the opportunity to swim in water above 26 degrees. It’s a must-see in Guyana! (Original) Superbe expérience. Bon c’est la cinquième fois, mais c’est toujours un plaisir de voir ces petits singes, qui vous grimpent dessus. Départ le matin pour 40 minutes de bateau, longer le fleuve et voir de très jolis paysages. Une fois arrivés, nous avons fait le sentier principal qui fait tour de l’île, accompagnés par les singes, qui sont à l’affût de la moindre miette pouvant sortir de votre sac. Après 2 heures, pique-nique sur une petite plage, seuls au monde, avec pour seul horizon le ciel et la l’eau. D’ailleurs vous aurez l’occasion de vous baigner dans une eau à plus de 26 degrés. C’est un incontournable de la Guyane !

(Translated by Google) Calm and pleasant island and coming there by canoe was an intense experience! The trail that goes around it is rather well open and maintained, which is a little less so on the interior trails. On your arrival you will be greeted by the saimiris monkeys, not very shy and very cute, who will ask you to eat. To be calm we ate on the degrad! (Original) Îlet calme et agréable et y venir en canoë était une expérience intense ! Le sentier qui y fait le tour est plutôt bien ouvert et entretenu, ce qui l'est un peu moins sur les sentiers intérieurs. A votre arrivée vous serez accueillis par les singes saimiris, peu farouches et très mignons qui vous réclameront a manger. Pour être tranquille nous avons mangé sur le degrad !

(Translated by Google) Nice walk, aperitif and music on the boat, our skipper knew how to set the mood. On site, if you bring a few bananas, you will quickly be covered with little Surimy monkeys, not aggressive at all but real little food thieves! Bring your hiking shoes for a tour of the island of around 2 hours, with some hilly terrain. (Original) Ballade sympa, apéro et musique sur le bateau, notre skipper à su mettre l'ambiance. Sur place, si vous apportez quelques bananes, vous serez vite recouvert de petits singes Surimy pas agressifs du tout mais de véritables petits voleurs de nourriture ! Prévoyez quand même vos chaussures de randonnée pour un tour de l'île d'environ 2 heures, avec quand même un peu de reliefs.

(Translated by Google) Short hike to go around the island. Short swim in the presence of cheeky monkeys on the beach. The morning is enough. (Original) Petite randonnée pour faire le tour de l'île. Petite baignade en présence de singes effrontés sur la plage. La matinée suffit.

(Translated by Google) Small church of Saint-Dominique de Roura which is located on the banks of the Oyak river. The church built in the 17th century by Jesuits is no longer in very good condition: there are cracks, the paint is peeling all over the building, the interior is in poor condition despite a plaque on which is registered “maintained by French Heritage”. I am afraid that the church is like the village of Roura, which falls into disuse day after day due to the non-maintenance of the buildings. However, the church fits perfectly into the landscape. It’s worth seeing if you’re in the area. (Original) Petite église Saint-Dominique de Roura qui se situe aux abords de la rivière Oyak. L’église construite au 17ème siècle par des Jésuites n’est plus en très bon état : on constate des fissures, la peinture s’écaille sur l’ensemble de l’édifice, l’intérieur est en piteux état malgré une plaque sur laquelle est inscrite « entretenu par patrimoine de France ». J’ai bien peur que l’église soit à l’image du village de Roura, qui tombe jour après jour en désuétude par le non-entretient des bâtiments. Cependant l’église s’inscrit parfaitement dans le paysage. C’est à voir si vous êtes dans le coin.

(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed getting to know the municipality of Oiapoque. It is very interesting as it has an ancient history from the indigenous time, although it is already growing a lot, but this way you can see the prominence that this small place shows and represents many things for several lands since it has disappeared a lot due to the city's measures, especially in the indigenous lands, which are more affected by these evolutions of the city. It is more interesting that you continued with the culture. I found it interesting. One day I will visit there. I really liked it 🥰🥰 (Original) Gostei muito de conhecer município de Oiapoque ele é bem interessante quanto é uma história antiga do tempo indígena ainda que já tá subindo bastante mas assim dá para ver o destaque que esse pequeno local mostra e representar muitas coisas para várias terras já que tá sumido bastante por conta das providência da cidade principalmente na terra indígena são mais afetada com essas evolução da cidade mais interessante que vocês continuaram com a cultura achei interessante um dia eu vou visitar aí eu gostei muito 🥰🥰

(Translated by Google) Unlike museums in Brazil, the Kuahi Museum is a place cared for by the indigenous people of Oiapoque themselves. It is a fundamental space for preserving and valuing the culture, history, languages ​​and identity of the region's native peoples. Its importance goes beyond the conservation of artifacts and memories; it represents a space of autonomy and indigenous protagonism, where the communities themselves tell their stories and present their material wealth, resisting historical processes of erasure and marginalization. Kuahi is a living place for the transmission of knowledge, beauty and creations. (Original) Diferentemente dos museus do Brasil, o museu Kuahi é um lugar cuidado pelos próprios indígenas do Oiapoque, é um espaço fundamental de preservação e valorização da cultura, história, línguas e identidade dos povos originários da região. Sua importância vai além da conservação de artefatos e memórias; ele representa um espaço de autonomia e protagonismo indígena, onde as próprias comunidades contam suas narrativas, apresentam suas riquezas materiais, resistindo aos processos históricos de apagamento e marginalização. O Kuahi é um local vivo de transmissão de saberes, de belezas e criações.

(Translated by Google) The Kuhaí Museum was founded after a ten-year initiative by representatives of indigenous peoples from the far north of Amapá. Its goal is to help preserve and disseminate culture and, at the same time, provide alternative sources of income for these communities through the planned marketing of artisanal products. The collection has more than 300 pieces, most of which were produced on commission by the museum together with indigenous communities, who also participate in the management of the institution. It is worth mentioning that there is a good frequency of French people coming from Cayenne - French Guyanese. I, Hudson F.S., recommend it. (Original) O Museu Kuhaí, foi fundado após uma iniciativa gestada ao longo de dez anos junto a representantes dos povos indígenas do extremo norte do Amapá, tem por objetivo ajudar a preservar e difundir a cultura e ao mesmo tempo possibilitar alternativas de renda a essas comunidades por meio da comercialização planejada da produção artesanal. O acervo possui mais de 300 peças, a maioria das quais produzidas por encomenda do museu junto às comunidades indígenas, que participam também da gestão da instituição. Cabe ressaltar que há uma frequência boa de franceses vindo de Cayena - Guyanea Francesa. Eu Hudson F.S. Recomendo.

(Translated by Google) Kuahi is a legitimate museum of the indigenous peoples of the region, managed by them. Unfortunately, it has been neglected by the government, which has failed to maintain its physical structure. As a result, the important artifacts of the people are under threat and they are prevented from presenting new exhibitions and from carrying out museum activities and serving the population. (Original) O Kuahi é um museu legítimo dos povos indígenas da região, gerido por eles . Infelizmente sofre com o abandono do governo que não fez a manutenção de sua estrutura física.

This stadium is just in the middle of the Ecuador line! Brilliant!

The stadium is built so that the midfield line follows the Equator exactly. In every soccer game there, each team isn't just defending its own goal. One side is defending the Northern Hemisphere, and the other side the Southern Hemisphere, like a giant game of Risk. But the geopolitical overtones switch in the second half, of course, when the teams swap goals.
