  • South America ↗Above 2,500 m (Bogotá, Quito, Cusco, La Paz) keep the first day light; sleep lower where you can (Sacred Valley before Cusco) and descend if headache comes with vomiting or confusion.
  • South America ↗A yellow fever certificate is required on arrival in French Guiana, and asked for on some routes into Bolivia, Paraguay, Suriname and Guyana, or when arriving from Amazon areas — vaccinate at least 10 days before travel and carry the card.
  • South America ↗Overnight buses are the norm in Argentina, Chile and Peru, but pick top-tier companies and keep valuables on your body; on-board thefts from overhead racks are the common loss.
  • French Guiana ↗French Guiana is part of France and the EU but not the Schengen area: a Schengen visa is not valid here unless it says so. Check French government entry rules for overseas departments for your passport.
  • French Guiana ↗A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry for travellers aged one and over; get vaccinated at least 10 days before travel and carry the certificate.
  • French Guiana ↗Around launches from the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, access to some areas (including the Îles du Salut) is restricted; check launch dates before planning.
  • Cayenne and surroundings ↗From December to July heavy rain can close tracks and cancel boat trips: keep a flexible day.
  • Cayenne ↗Heat and humidity peak between 11:00 and 15:00: do walking in the morning and after 16:00, and use the midday hours for museums and lunch.
  • Cayenne ↗Avoid walking alone at night, especially outside the centre: use a taxi booked by your hotel, and keep valuables out of sight.
