Access and accommodation rates
Access
The Nouragues research station is only accessible by canoe or helicopter. The Inselberg site can only be reached by helicopter from Cayenne (30 minutes) or on foot from the Pararé site (4 hours walk). The Paparé site is accessible by helicopter from Cayenne (30 minutes) or by 5 hours by canoe from the village of Régina, itself a 2 hour drive from Cayenne. The PK9-Nouragues helicopter journey (15 min) is only possible after a first Cayenne-Nouragues flight because there is no helicopter permanently stationed at PK9.
