Among Guyana's creeks, this one is often cited as a must-see gem, not only for its exceptional beauty but also for its proximity to Cayenne, some 35 km to the east.

This small creek flows into the Mahury River near the Roura bridge. It winds through a lush forest that forms veritable tunnels of greenery, home to remarkable plant species such as moucou-moucous palms, swampy moutouchis and red mangroves, recognizable by their unique stilt roots.

The surrounding trees are adorned with numerous epiphytic plants such as orchids and bromeliads. If you look up, you might also catch a glimpse of morphos, the legendary butterflies with iridescent blue wings that add a magical touch to the scenery.

Continuing on, the creek opens onto a marshy plain and flooded savannah, where the local fauna sometimes reveals itself to the most attentive. You may come across cabiais, giant otters, herons, egrets and a wide variety of tropical birds.
