French Guiana Travel Forum

Grateful for tips on travelling between Paramaribo and Cayenne and vice versa. Are there any air links (can't find any scheduled flights)? Alternatively, are there direct sea links, and how long do they take? If not, how long should one allow for overland travel, and what is the best way?
Thanks

I am trying to get information on flights from Cayenne to Macapá or Belém.

Anyaone have current information? TAF still fly that route?

Thanks.

Hi, I am Canadian and bilingual ( English , French ).
I am interested in living in Cayenne to study at the university and just enjoy life there.
Can I get a small studio with running water and electricity with telephone for less than 200 Euros in a middle class neighbourhood ( nurses, teachers, etc) ?

Are there good outdoor cafes ? I should say I am a single male in my late forties. I am thinking of doing so this september.
Any advice ?

Hey I've been thinking about moving to WA to teach. I currently live in Belfaqst and am sick of the rain. I was wondering if anyone could give me any information about the kind of nightlife that Esperance offers to someone in their early 20's who enjoys clubbing.

Hello,

It seems that this forum doesn't get much of an audience, and very few answers are posted, but I'll try!

I'm leaving for Cayenne next week, and was told that it would be cheaper to buy in Paris (my home town) insect repellent than in Cayenne.

Question: Which insect repellent (against mosquitos obviously!) is known to work best. Mosquitos seems to go crazy with my skin!!!

Thanks a bunch!

Can anybody give me tips about flights or overland travel to Brazil?

Thanks,

Hello all,

is possible Swimming and/or Schnorkel in French Guiana around the Cayenne? Or there is nothing to see under the sea (or too dangerous or too cold)...?

Thank you!

what is the majority language on devils island?

I am planning on going to Quetzaltenango for a few weeks of Spanish immersion. Any specific precautions I should take (Malaria, Yellow Fever etc.)?

Thanks

Hi. I will be briefly at "Devils Island" the middle of March on a cruise ship. Have not been able to really find out much about it other than the standard "escape and imprisonment" stories. Am interested in the people and current happenings. Also interested in what space work has been done (my father was Atlas reliability director during part of the Mercury program and we leaved next to the Cape when I was young).
Know from many years of travel - the advice and suggestions from locals cannot be beat. Any suggestions for reasonable "must see" things to do other than usual tourist stuff? I am a former university professor and airline pilot, very rusty in foreign languages, but love music, food and dance. Have spent most of past 25 years outside of US. Thanks for your help and keep traveling and learning - it is the best university there is if you keep your mind open.
