	French Guiana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		French Guiana (French: Guyane française, officially Guyane) is an overseas département (département d'outre-mer, or DOM) of France, located on the Caribbean coast of South America and part of Caribbean South America.
		French Guiana consists of three main geographical regions: a coastal strip where the majority of the people live, then dense, near-inaccessible rainforest, which gradually rises to the modest peaks of the Tumac-Humac mountains along the Brazilian frontier.
		The borders between French Guiana and those countries lie along the Maroni River in the rainforest, which are difficult to patrol for French Gendarmerie forces.

	French Guiana strives to overcome prison history: 7/ 17/ 2005
		JOSEPH ISLAND, French Guiana -- Thick tropical vines wrap around rusty jail bars and trees grow inside cells in the 19th-century prison on this far-flung island off South America -- a relic of French Guiana's dark past as a penal colony where thousands of prisoners died of disease.
		But their history haunts the French Guianese, who are eager for the world to discover their vast rain forests and eclectic culture of European lifestyles fused with the many traditions brought by Caribbean, Asian and South American immigrants.
		The French government spends $2.2 million a year to shed that image, producing brochures and buying television commercials that show off jungles filled with jaguars and monkeys, beaches where huge tortoises waddle out of the surf, and fishermen whisking piranhas out of rivers.

	Central French Guiana: A Unique and Rugged Tourist Experience
		The forests of central French Guiana are particularly important to protect because they are at the headwaters of three of French Guiana's major river systems, the Mana, the Approuague, and the Lawa/Maroni (Mori et al., 1997).
		The forests of French Guiana harbor numerous spine-bearing palms of the genera Astrocaryum and Bactris and, therefore, special care must be taken not to grab hold of, back into, or fall onto their spines.
		A trip to central French Guiana is recommended only for self-motivated tourists with a keen interest in tropical nature, with a special interest in hiking and camping in remote and rugged terrain, or with a desire to descend a wilderness river or stream by boat.
