Alicoto


Alicoto is an Amerindian village of the Wayampi tribe in southeast French Guiana, close to the border with Brazil. Alicoto is home to the chief of the Wayampis. The Wayampis in French Guiana have had very little contact with the outside world, but in the 1940s, captain Eugène, the chief, did allow visits to Saint-Georges to purchase salt. The Wayampis practice slash-and-burn agriculture.
