Kourou is home to the only rocket launch site in South America โ€” and one of the most important in the world. Visiting the Guiana Space Centre means getting as close as possible to the conquest of space, between jungle and Atlantic Ocean.

If luck is on your side, you may even witness an Ariane rocket launch live. A spectacle that shakes the ground and will remain engraved in your memory forever.

Giant Sea Turtle
Watching

Every year between April and August, thousands of leatherback turtles โ€” the largest sea turtles in the world, weighing up to 500kg โ€” come ashore on the beaches of French Guiana to lay their eggs. A natural spectacle of rare beauty and power.

Awala-Yalimapo is the most important nesting site in the world for this endangered species. Watching this ritual at midnight, by the red light of guides so as not to disturb the animals, is an experience that touches the essence of life.
