This nature reserve is outside the capital city and is a major attraction for nature lovers in French Guyana. I was there last week.

Au cœur de la Guyane, le refuge idéal de la faune sauvage vous attend pour des instants inoubliables : émerveillement et plaisir garantis ! Plus de 450 animaux répartis sur 80 espèces vous attendent! Des espaces à larges champs de vision et une grande serre d'immersion vous permettent d'être au plus près des animaux : de redoutables serpents en imposants reptiles, de puissants fauves en singes facétieux, d'oiseaux paradisiaques en rapaces bruyants, tous formidables représentants de la biodiversité Guyanaise et du nouveau monde. Chaque mercredi et samedi à 15H, soigneurs et éthologue du zoo vous emmènent au coeur de leur métier pour partager leur quotidien auprès des animaux. Sans oublier l'attraction exclusive du zoo : une balade en forêt
A zoo comprises animals from all corners distant whereas a sanctuary sits in nature local to an area with species from the area only. This only comprises fauna and flora from the Amazon area, is located in the jungle proper and well laid out in a long rectangular 3-4 hour slow walk. Excellent in so many ways that I could have spent far longer there but leave with enough new knowledge of the only found here animals to appreciate the bio-diversity of the North Amazon and region. A terrific must see and well worth the 12 euro!

Devils Island in French Guiana is an island which is both famous and infamous. Prisoners were sent from mainland France to serve their time here with the most famous being Napoleon. The film Papillon was based on the escape of a prisoner from the island but there is some doubt as to the historical accuracy of the film. The adjacent island is the one where all tourists land from their cruise liners coming ashore by ship's tender. There is plenty of local wildlife to see including monkeys and a small rodent like animal. The walk around the island is essential as you pass abandoned buildings from a past era and possibly see local fishermen risking life and limb by climbing down the rocky shoreline to cast their lines into the fast flowing seaway.

If you don't mind the monkeys over you, you will have a lot of fun coming to this beautiful small island near Cayenne. I would highly recommend a visit.
