CROSSING INTO FRENCH GUIANA

One reason to come to Amapá is to get to French Guiana (or Guyane). The key road in the state connects Macapá with the town of OIAPOQUE, on the river of the same name that delineates the frontier. The road isn’t asphalted all the way, but even where it’s dirt it’s usually good going in the dry season; in the wet season, however, it can easily double travel time.

From Macapá’s rodoviária catch a bus to Oiapoque (daily 5pm & 7pm; 10hr, can take up to 24hr in the rainy season; R$92); there are also 4WD services that shuttle passengers (7hr, can take longer in the rainy season; R$150). Once in Oiapoque, catch a boat (every 5min; 10min; €10) across to Saint-Georges. Brazilian exit stamps can be obtained from the Polícia Federal at the southern road entrance into Oiapoque; on the other side you have to check in with the gendarmes in Saint-Georges. From here you can hop on a bus to Cayenne (3hr; €35).
