Nobody Talks About French Guiana... After THIS We Know Why!

French Guiana turned out to be one of the most challenging and surprising stops of our world circumnavigation. What should have been a simple arrival quickly became an anchoring nightmare. Strong currents, muddy bottoms, and difficult conditions forced us to anchor multiple times before finally finding a spot that would hold. It's easy to understand why many cruisers skip French Guiana altogether. But despite the challenges, this unique overseas territory of France has plenty to offer. During our visit, we explored the incredible Guiana Space Center (Centre Spatial Guyanais), Europe's gateway to space and home to some of the world's most important rocket launches.
