Devil's Island, French Guiana

Devil's Island, French Guiana

This rocky, palm covered island is actually one of three that became known collectively as Devil’s Island, one of the most infamous prisons in history. From 1852-1946 thousands of convicts, from political prisoners to hardened thieves and murderers, were transported to this disease-infested territory. A great many of them were never seen again. Explore the grounds of this undoubtedly haunted place, and listen for whispers on the frangipani-scented air. Tropical foliage has overgrown many of the buildings and softened their harsh aspect.
