One of the really easy and picturesque walks to do around Cayenne is along the Mantabo trail. It takes about two hours round trip and you progressively walk through luxuriant plant life along the beach front into rain forest before arriving at the beach on the other side of the mountain.

We were surprised to spot lots of flowers we'd never seen before like this reddish cluster that sort of ressembled honeysuckle.
We also caught a glimpse of the giant blue morpho butterfly, here with its wings closed. (Sorry!)
On the other side of the mountain, we overlooked the beach where Jack and I regularly go for a swim. Here it's high tide so it doesn't look like much of a beach.
Unfortunately, we found no garbage cans or bags along the trail. As in many countries, the unconcerned hiker just carelessly throws their trash onto the forest ground and spoils the landscape. Yet if man can do such incredible things like send satellites into space, create new and amazing computer technology or discover cures for mortel diseases, why is it impossible for him to just keep a forest clean?!
