Accommodation
Hotels
Since French Guiana was chosen as a site for European space development, a number of well-appointed air-conditioned hotels have been built. Prices are the highest on the continent. Cayenne, Kourou, Sinnamary and St Laurent du Maroni all offer excellent accommodation. Guest houses and gîtes (cottages) are cheaper alternatives. For further details, contact the Comité du Tourisme de la Guyane (see Contact Addresses section).
Camping/Caravanning
Inland camping is available, sleeping on hammocks strung from the walls of a carbet (a jungle version of a shack). It is also possible to hire a camping-car. For further details, contact the Comité du Tourisme de la Guyane (see Contact Addresses section).
