In this remote overseas region, we embark on a journey of history, culture and tourism. Yohann Brichet takes us on foot, by plane, 4x4 or pirogue.
Through his eyes, we discover the lives of Amerindians, Hmongs, Creoles, legionnaires, bushinengues, descendants of convicts or engineers at the space centre, garimpeiros in a gold mine or teachers from mainland France.
But it's also a real journey through time: the first natives, colonisation, slavery, the gold rush, the creation of the penal colony, the European space base... are all elements that have marked the history of this region.
The setting for this expedition is the immense equatorial forest, with its unique ecosystem, and the many rivers that criss-cross it.
So many encounters, so many different facets, so many adventures to experience.
Guiana is a land of contrasts: many communities have preserved their traditional way of life, while living in this little piece of Europe lost in the Amazon, and in fact one of the richest regions in South America.
This journey is an authentic expedition, a journey to the heart of a preserved territory that is unique in the world.
