Crique Couleuvre, in the municipality of Macouria, is one of French Guiana's last truly unspoiled natural sites. Wild and accessible only to a limited number of visitors, it draws adventurers and nature enthusiasts above all. The creek has no facilities, and reaching it calls for a genuine sense of adventure.
Once you arrive, you discover a quiet, secluded spot perfect for swimming and relaxing. The site's wild character is precisely what makes it special. It is also well suited for bivouacking: its calm, natural atmosphere is ideal for spending a night in the heart of French Guiana's nature, whether you are an experienced camper or simply looking for an immersive outdoor experience.
Access is via a laterite track that is impractical for ordinary vehicles: only 4x4s can venture further along the rough, often deteriorated path. A badly damaged bridge prevents regular cars from crossing the creek; 4x4s can still ford it, but otherwise you will need to continue on foot. Protecting the site is paramount: please respect nature and carry out all your rubbish to keep the area clean.
The road to the creek starts on the RD5, heading towards "Quesnel ouest – 3 Rois". The track is on the left, near a sign reading "Avenue des 3 Rois". Drive as far as conditions allow, then continue on foot, or walk the entire route.
