About French Guiana

Visiting French Guiana is like your own little slice of France in South America. This country shares its borders with Brazil and Suriname. While this country shares a somewhat dark history, as it was used to house thousands of prisoners for almost 100 years (between the mid-1800's to mid-1900's,) you will find a number of natural and historical treasures to regale you on your trip. Visiting the Amazon rainforest and beautiful colonial buildings are some of the most popular pastimes whilst in French Guiana. For cheap flights to French Guiana, be sure to bookmark Flighthub. We're constantly trying to outdo ourselves by cutting our prices even further, offering some of the best deals on hotels in French Guiana as well as flights.

While in French Guiana

Cayenne

Cayenne is French Guiana's capital city and a great starting point. Avenue de General de Gauille is widely considered prime shopping territory, with excellent places to eat and shop, including high-end and posh stores, as well as tourist shops. Cayenne's Zoo and Botanical Gardens are well received, and a great chance to explore local plant and wildlife, with most animals hailing from the nearby rain forest. Not far from Cayenne lies the Amazon rainforest, a lush and extremely well preserved environment that's begging to be explored. It's extremely popular to rent a guide and take a trek through the Amazon, or do something as extreme as joining an extreme boot camp, to really 'rough it' in the wilderness.

Kourou

Kourou is a pride and joy of French Guiana, and home to the French Space Center. An actual launch site and space center, it has more than 500 launches per year. Sign up in advance for a guided tour (in French only,) or walk around and read the English displays by yourself. You can see the control and communications room, the space museum, and it will be a real treat if you happen to be there on a launch day (you won't know in advance-it's a well-guarded secret.)

Another favorite to do in Kourou is to take a day trip to Royale, St. Joseph and Devil's Island, the home of a notorious prison system that housed 70,000 prisoners, and was the feature focus of the movie Papillon. It makes for an excellent hike and touring experience and is simply unforgettable.

Flights to French Guiana can be found far and wide across the net, but cheap tickets to French Guiana-and by cheap we mean really cheap-can only be found on Flighthub.

Saint Laurent

The second largest city of French Guiana, the main attraction of the city is Camp de la Transportation prison, which operated for nearly 100 years, and was the original reception area for all French prisoners sentenced to serve in French Guiana. They would usually later go on to other prisons. Come and see the prisoner quarters, with different units for temporary prisoners, trusted prisoners, and those sentenced to death, as well as public execution areas and bathrooms.

Another favorite is to go to the beaches and witness giant leather back turtles nesting and eggs hatching. This area is home to half of the entire world's giant leather back turtle population, and is so filled with breeding turtles and eggs during laying and hatching season, that it'd be an absolute shame to miss.
