Explore French Guiana, an overseas region of France on the northeastern coast of South America. Discover the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou (Europe's primary launch site for satellites, including the Ariane rockets), hike to the top of Mount Roraima (a flat-topped mountain on the border with Brazil and Venezuela, known for its unique table-top shape and endemic species), and visit the Îles du Salut (including Devil's Island, a former penal colony with a haunting history). Also, experience the vibrant culture in the capital, Cayenne, with its colorful markets and Creole cuisine.
