Some of us went on tiptoe, fearing mud, insect bites and other dilemmas. On the Îles du Salut, we were moved by the contrast between past Hell and Heaven today. In Kourou, the enormity of the technology at the Space Centre in the middle of the Amazon forest took our breath away. In Cayenne, we succumbed to the old-fashioned charm of a colonial town that today is dynamic and living in a different age, all at the same time. Lastly, we took ourselves for adventurers or gold washers on the river and flirted with the mysteries of life in “ “ Amazonia. Data Voyages 48 Even if you’ve heard about it, this “green sea” is impressive nonetheless, with its millions of giant trees that stretch as far as the capital, Cayenne, or in other words as far as the ocean, and which covers almost 90% of the 84,000km 2 of French Guiana. Incentive trips are a wonderful way of discovering the primary forest, which is part of the largest forest in the world, the fauna, flora, and “carbets”, or Amazonstyle lodges in the middle of the jungle where memorable meetings can be organised, the immense rivers and pirogue trips on their tributaries through the undergrowth, night-time safaris on the upper deck of small Mississippi style boats that wind their way through the moonlit marshes, and the extraordinary experience of turtles laying eggs on the Atlantic beaches. French Guiana also offers the Îles du Salut, place of the former prison. Today the place is so idyllic, who would believe it used to impound prisoners? The warm blue sea, the palm trees that lean into it, the mischievous monkeys that play hide and seek and the charming house of the former governor – what more could you want? Agencies organise treasure hunts here, which prove to be very popular. But the must is Kourou. With Ariane that goes up and up and up into infinity, making the earth tremble within a 15 kilometre radius, leaving behind a trace of white smoke as a souvenir. It’s wonderful, extraordinary and stirring. After such a show, a generous cocktail is essential for all united: the learned, of course, the civil servants, the politicians, the customers who have entrusted their satellite to the rocket, and also the incentive groups, passing spectators and ordinary tourists. It’s a bit like a village party. And what a party!

If you put the 5-star accommodation to one side, this destination has all the ingredients to make good incentive trips: strong sensations, adventure, discovery and startling contrasts are absolutely guaranteed. The notoriety of space adventure is a good sales argument, the prison is another, and of course the Amazon forest. The main attraction is without a doubt the feeling of awe for this immense and virgin territory. And all this in comfortable and safe conditions, what more could you ask for ? “ AVS Voyages
