Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did.
So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. --- Mark Twain

Cayenne Zoo


17.10.2013
107 260 km since the beginning of the journey
Route: Kourou – Cayenne (120 km).

Cayenne Zoo together with the Botanical Gardens is located 25 kilometers from the capital. Coming from Kourou it remains almost next to the road. Only 8 km from the big road.

And according to the TripAdvisor The Zoo is the attraction no.3 of Cayanne, which means that here would be no passing without visiting it. And the first half of the day was again filled.

And here, in this zoo there is a bird cage with the dimensions of a hangar. Just to enjoy walking inside.

In conclusion - quite a nice and decent small zoo, it will take a couple of hours for a thorough review, there are mostly local animals and birds.

The Zoo was shadowy, but not the parking lot, by midday the car was hot inside like a sauna - nearly 40 degrees.
