Guiana Amazonian Park

National Park·Remote, Wild, Untouched
Guiana Amazonian Park (Parc amazonien de Guyane) is a monumental conservation area that protects a significant portion of the Amazonian rainforest. Spanning over 33,900 square kilometers, the park is divided into a strictly protected central zone and a secondary area to preserve its critical ecological integrity. Because there are no roads leading into the park, the journey itself is an expedition; visitors must travel by small aircraft or navigate the Maroni and Oyapock rivers using traditional pirogues. The park encompasses territories around communes such as Camopi, Maripasoula, and Saül, serving as a vital sanctuary for diverse tropical flora and fauna. It remains a premier destination for those seeking a profound, authentic connection with one of the world's most significant tropical ecosystems.
