Guyane

In this article, I want to talk to you about Guyane, because during the last christmas holidays, I saw my cousin who lives there, in Cayenne. One day I hope I will go in this wild territory... as lot of people I would like always travel !

Guyane is the biggest french departement (a french overseas departement). It's near Bresil. 96% of territory is equator forest. This forest is protect by a natural park and 6 natural reserves.

The Cayenne penal colony stay famous and it was closed since the second world war.

This region is one of the richest region of animal and vegetal : around 5 500 vegetals species, 700 birds species, 177 mammals species, 430 fishs species...

There is a spacial center in Guyane. This center is the launching site of the Ariane rocket. It's in Kourou.

Hello Angelique
It's great if your cousin lives in Guyana you can probably get there a few days
The guyane must be beautiful, I didn't think that 96% of forest land is equator!
