French Guiana

15 photos

French Guiana is a fascinating corner of South America, an overseas territory of France on the Atlantic coast. More than 90% of its land area is covered by lush tropical rainforests, home to a remarkable diversity of rare plant and animal species. Here, mighty rivers wind through seemingly endless jungles, while small settlements lie surrounded by nature that remains largely untouched by human civilization. French Guiana is a land of contrasts, where the pristine wilderness of the Amazon meets the cutting-edge technology of Europe's spaceport in Kourou.
