Getting around French Guiana
A rental car is the practical way along the coast road; shared taxis (taxis collectifs) are infrequent. Pirogues and small planes reach river villages such as Maripasoula and Saül.
Key facts
- Driving: on the right. EU licences are valid; other foreign licences are accepted for short stays, ideally with an IDP or French translation.
