Description

Pointe des Roches is interesting because it is one of the rare points in Guyana allowing the observation of birds (migratory or not) of mudflats and coasts. I advise you to look carefully at the tide times in order to be able to observe early in the morning because the shade is rare in the area. See a link to the tide table below.

La zone est intéréssante car c'est l'un des rare points en Guyane permettant l'oservation d'oiseaux (migrateurs ou non ) de vasières et cotiers. Je vous conseil de bien regarder les horaires de marées afin de pouvoir observer en début de matinée car l'ombre se fait rare sur place.
