GUYANE: IN THE HEART OF THE AMAZON FOREST
The curiosity of the desire to discover other horizons is an integral part of the spirit of the adventurers who , for several centuries , have marked out the 5
continents of the world to bear witness to its geological , ecological and
environmental specificities has been practicing for 8 years by ALOUATTA
agency managed by JULIEN ROSSIGNOL who organizes excursions,tours and
discovery stays in the Guyane forest in the heart of the wide open spaces of this fascinating territory that is the Amazon.
Located in South America , Guyane covering an area of 83,846 square kilometers borders Brazil and Surinam and
represents the second largest region in France after New Aquitaine distributed between 2 large topographical regions
made up in the north by a coastal plain or “Low Lands” and over the whole of its territory by a big forest integrated into
the Amazonian forest . Visiting Guyane from the interior is also synonymous with thrills and adrenaline rushes
complemented by enriching encounters at the same time circuits, tours and discovery trails carried out in particular in
places parallel to the Maroni and Approuague located respectively to the west and east of the department.
»Guyana has
been may adopted home for years and after various functions exercised over the years in organizations such as the
management of agriculture and forestry, I created the agency ALOUATTA in 2016 based on both a passion for nature,
botany, herpetology and sport fishing in good balance with my desire to promote the richness of fauna,the flora and
particularities of the Guyanese forest that we never tire of discovering”
Julien ROSSIGNOL explains to us while pointing to a map which presents his services with their different routes. Based in REGINA along of the Approuague River 110
kilometers from CAYENNE
political and administrative capital of the
GUYANE, Julien is supported in his operations by 2
external guides who, like him, have the qualifications of member tourist guides of the GUYANE Guides Company.The
agency offers 5 circuits entitled DISCOVERY, ENTOMO , WATERFALLS, RIVER EXPEDITIONS and INSELBERG which
generally last from 2 to 5 days and are made up of groups of 10 people maximum allowing good monitoring and optimized management of the routes and the corresponding places in good balance with the motivations, levels of experience and particularities of the groups including their numbers and their medical certifications allowing them to stay in secure unusual places without major risks to their health.
Getaways Aboard Typical Guyanese Canoes
Rich in its biodiversity appreciated by nature enthusiasts,the Guyanese forest that we never tire of exploring also
allows you to discover the magic of the world of insects and butterflies whose beauty and diversity are dazzling to come
across black caimans or jaguars along the rivers and their tributaries in addition to sailing aboard typical Guyanese
before reaching sumptuous waterfalls impressive in their sizes and water flows. In addition to the discovery of radiant
lanscapes decorated with rich and diverse fauna and flora, discovering the Guyanese forest also means taking part in
fishing trips unforgettable in places with more than 500 species of fish such as “Siltfish” or the "Scale Fish" and these
circuits complemented by enriching encounters are also an opportunity for unique experiences because the length of
stays also includes swimming in the waters and tributaries of rivers in addition to stops and nights in bivouacs in the
heart of the Guyanese forest
»In parallel with the management of my projects,my business and the support of groups
in the corresponding places, I also carry out specific and complementary missions to the circuits within the framework
of partnerships with organizations such as the national forest office of GUYANA as was the case in 2020 as part of the biological reserve of Mont De l'Observatoire as well as with the biodiversity office including the inventory of the fauna
present ,the counting of a particular species or the identification of the particularities of the flora. I have a fascinating
job that i share with my customers in an environment that is both invigorating and exciting in this Guyanese forest
which conceals multiple places that we want to preserve.”
In our constantly moving world where environmental data is
sometimes neglected despite recent awareness in addition to international agreements, particularly on the climate with
its impact on the world's forests, it is reassuring to note that the taste for adventure is also embellished with creativity
with here and there bold initiatives which are only acts mixed with a few traces of colors in the immense fresco of our
globalized world but who have the merit of sharing with us their desire of progress.
