Oiapoque is a border town in Amapá in Brazil, across the river from French Guiana.
For budget travelers, reputedly the cheapest option in the town center. Perfectly acceptable windowless rooms with okay air conditioning. Not on Google Maps, but right next to Pousada São Cristovão.
From French Guiana
The bridge connection from Saint-Georges-de-l'Oyapock and Oiapoque (Brazil) has been operational since 2017.
From Macapá
The only road connection on the Brazil side is the long, two-lane highway from Macapá on the Amazon River, which passes through both lush Amazon Rainforest and a strikingly different natural Guianan…
Downtown is pretty small and can easily covered on foot. There also is a taxi stand right at the port. The border bridge is a bit of a walk.
