Where should you go in French Guyana in january when it comes to the weather?
Remember:
The climate in French Guyana in january ranges from good to bad depending on the region and city.
January is not the best month to travel to in French Guiana. The weather in Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni and Awala-Yalimapo is quite correct. The sun is not there all the time and you risk you to be soaked by rain regularly. Nevertheless, if you don't plan a pool & relaxation trip in French Guiana but rather sightseeing or a trek, this climate could be appropriate. In addition, there are definitely fewer tourists at this time.
But it is finally better than in Maripasoula, Sinnamary, Kourou, Roura and Cayenne and surrounding areas where the climate is even worse. It is really not advisable to go to these areas in january.
