Montagne d'Argent, Mountain in northeastern French Guiana
Montagne d'Argent rises 132 meters above sea level and overlooks the Oyapock River estuary near Pointe Béhague in French Guiana.
The mountain site hosted the first agricultural penal colony of French Guiana in 1852, established on a former coffee plantation until its closure in 1910.
The discovery of 22 petroglyphs within the mountain area indicates the presence of ancient indigenous populations in this region of French Guiana.
The Conservatoire du littoral now protects this 7.13 square kilometer territory, requiring prior authorization for any site visits.
The mountain serves as a strategic point for observing local wildlife and provides a complete view of the Oyapock River mouth.
