Does Brazilian Guyana exist? In spite of its similarities with Northern neighbours, the Brazilian Far North is not perceived as belonging to this unit, but as a remote periphery, given up or left in reserve. But the recent changes, in particular the opening of new roads towards the north, part of a new development policy, quickly changes the area and, while introducing strong internal differences there, integrates it more closely with the Guyanas.
