Three Months in the Northern Amazon: French Guiana, Suriname & Guyana 

Our three-month expedition across the Northern Amazon Region — a journey through French Guiana, Suriname, and Guyana. This pristine corner of South America remains virtually untouched, offering an intimate glimpse into the Amazon’s incredible biodiversity and cultural mosaic.

From towering waterfalls and sweeping savannahs to lush rainforests and winding rivers, the region is home to countless endemic species and some of the planet’s most vibrant ecosystems. Welcoming indigenous communities and people of diverse origins, whose traditions reflect a fascinating fusion of Caribbean and South American influences. including the Asian-style stilt village in French Guiana, home to Hmong refugees who resettled to French Guiana there after the Vietnam War. This compilation continues our Amazon series, following previous explorations across the North-East and North-West Amazon in Brazil.
