A destination is a region you visit as a single trip: it can bring together several cities or be a large city with everything it offers. Each destination has the tours, the itineraries, the best time to go month by month and how to get there.
The guide currently has 2 destinations, with 3 cities in 2 districts.
Today's highlights
A destination is more than a city: it's everything you can experience there.
The town of the former prison on the banks of the Maroni River, with the Camp de la Transportation, the colonial district and the pirogues that cross the river to Suriname and go upriver toward the forest villages.
The capital of Guiana Francesa, with the Place des Palmistes, Forte Cépérou and the market; and Kourou, with the Centro Espacial and the boat to the Ilhas da Salvação, where the ruins of the former penal colony are located.
