Kourou - Tourism

Tourism

• The Centre Spatial Guyanais (CSG) gets many visitors all year round.
• The Musée de l'Espace is a museum devoted to space and space exploration.
• The Îles du Salut: Of the three islands, only two, Île Royale and Île Saint-Joseph, can be visited. The third is Devil's Island.
• Les Roches gravées: Indigenous rock art, not far from the small industrial zone called Pariacabo.
• There are several marked public footpaths in the jungle, of which the most well-known and used is the one on the Montagne des Singes.
• Kourou River: Many people go up the river on canoes or small boats to camp along the shore in open dwellings, or simply in hammocks.
• The ocean may not be clear (it is brown due to the Amazonian silt), but both it and the beaches are clean.
