Overview

The Grand Canori rapids are located on the Approuague River, in the commune of Régina, in French Guiana. They are the largest rapids in the region, with a drop of 19 metres over several hundred metres. The site offers views of cascades formed by countless rocks, deep within the Amazon rainforest.

Why Visit

The Grand Canori rapids are a destination for adventure seekers and wild-nature enthusiasts. Along the way, it is possible to spot turtles basking in the sun or the leaves of the Coumarou tree, which are vital to the aquatic ecosystem of the region. The journey is made by pirogue, bringing you close to an untouched natural environment.

Practical Information

It is strongly recommended to hire a professional guide, who will provide the information needed for a safe experience and introduce you to the local flora and fauna. Organised excursions generally include a full circuit: departure from the landing stage at Régina village, an overnight stay at base camp, then two days by pirogue on the Approuague with stops at various rapids, including the Petit Machicou and Grand Machicou rapids. Thorough preparation and adherence to the guides' safety instructions are essential.
