  Description

  We are a family business located in French Guiana into the Amazonian Forest, beside the Brasilian boundary on the Oyapock river side. Eco-friendly, totally self-built and energically self-sufficient with renewable energy (solar), we sell outdoor activities like rafting, canoeing, kayaking, hydrospeed and hiking as well as hosting in some traditional Native American huts.
  Oyapock river is definitely a crossroad of Native American, Brasilian, Creole and Occidental cultures. We'll be very keen to share with our passion of the forest and to help you discovering its wonders. Far from the stressing cities' life but closed to the essential wild life, you'll live there a peaceful life, full of necessary, empty of superfluous. There are three guides who work and live on site, in addition to the outings we all manage the reservations and the maintenance of the base.
  
  Une entreprise familiale située en Guyane Française au cœur de la forêt amazonienne, plus précisément à la frontière avec le brésil à Saut Maripa au bord du fleuve Oyapock. Écoresponsable entièrement en auto-construction autonome en énergie renouvelable. Nous proposons des activités de pleine nature (rafting, canoë/kayak, randonnée) et de l’hébergement en carbet hamac (abris traditionnel)
  La vie sur le fleuve est un carrefour entre les cultures amérindiennes, brésiliennes, créoles et occidentale.
  Passionné de la forêt c'est un plaisir pour nous de vous faire découvrir ces merveilles. Loin de la ville, proche de l'essentiel, la vie sur place est paisible et concrète ! Nous sommes trois guides a travailler et vivre sur site, en plus des sorties nous gérons tous les réservations et l'entretient de la base.
