Geography

About 7000 km (4350 miles) separate French Guiana from mainland France, an 8½-hour direct flight. Located in the northeast of the South American continent between Suriname and Brazil, French Guiana covers an area of 84,000 km² (about 32,500 square miles) and is 1/5th the size of mainland France.

Its natural borders are the Maroni River to the west, the Oyapock River to the east, and the Tumuc-Humac Mountains to the south.

The coastal strip extends for 350 km (about 220 miles) along the Atlantic Ocean.

Beyond this strip begins the great Amazon rainforest. The only way to penetrate this area is through its great rivers and waterways, which form an extremely dense river system.

Climate

French Guiana enjoys an equatorial climate. It’s hot, but quite comfortable, thanks to the trade winds that constantly blow along the coast.

Average annual temperature:

26°C (79°F) with highs of 33°C (91.5°F).

For sunbathers, the best months are:

- mid-July to the end of November, the main dry season,

- March to mid-April, the little “March summer.”

For those who don’t mind the rain (hot with intervals of sunshine)

- January and February, (the light rainy season as well as Carnival),
- Mid-April to the end of June, the main rainy season (when leatherback turtles lay their eggs).

In short, you can visit French Guiana all year round … and don’t worry about cyclones and earthquakes. You’ll find none of them here.
