From Cayenne to the Countryside: Your Guide to Overlanding French Guiana

Overlanding through French Guiana is a journey into one of South America’s least-travelled regions, where European influence meets deep Amazon wilderness. From crossing the border at Oiapoque into the colonial charm of Cayenne, the route winds past bustling markets, street food stalls, and historic landmarks before heading west to Kourou and its world-famous European Spaceport. Along the coast, the chance to witness giant leatherback turtles nesting adds a rare wildlife encounter, while St. Laurent du Maroni offers a powerful glimpse into the region’s penal history. With jungle roads, river crossings, and rich cultural contrasts, this stretch delivers raw adventure and sets the stage for an epic onward journey through the Guianas.
