| The Kaw
road was our first and last destination when we were in
French Guyana. To go there, go towards Roura. This is a
very well-kept road which go through the forest for 50
km, till Kaw swamp, the end of the road and
the beginning of canoes. You can collect on this road,
except on the left side for 10 km where there is a
sanctuary. |

We
staid a few days in Patawa camp, about km36. Owners are
entomologists : Jeannot is a specialist for Arctiidae,
and Odette is a specialist for Cerambycidae. Prices are
rather high, considering the lack of comfort of this old
military camp, but food is excellent. You can rent there
mothing equipment. |
| |
There
are trails in the forest from Kaw roads, between km37 and
km40, and there is no problem to collect there by day or
by night. |
 |
We
staid also 2 nights in "Caiman" camp, located
km30. Rooms are upstairs and more "hermetic" !
It is one of the oldest camps in Guyana, and the owners
Michel and Josianne are very nice. |
