Discovering Suriname

Arrival at Johan Adolf Pengel airport. Installation in a guesthouse or hotel and rental of a vehicle.

Departure for the west of Suriname in the morning: stop in the villages on the way to the Bigi Pan nature reserve. Bird watching and mud baths. Overnight in a bungalow on stilts.

Early departure for the village of Apoera along the Corantijn River: continue towards the Blanche Marie Falls. Overnight on site or at Nieuw Nickerie.

In the afternoon, visit the Pepperpot (birds) or Matapica (marine turtles) reserve.

Visit the local markets in the morning, have a typical lunch and then go shopping in the shopping centres and go out to watch pink dolphins at sunset.

Boat trip along the old plantations in Commewijne, visit of Fort New Amsterdam and discovery of the Javanese and Hindustani fishing villages, local meal. Return to Paramaribo in the late afternoon.

Departure for an excursion in the interior of the country to discover the Amazonian forest: excursion by car and canoe to the Central Suriname Reserve, Raleighvallen and Blanche Marie Falls, or departure by plane to Mount Kasikasima for adventure enthusiasts. We will then have to go inland. The change of scenery is there as well as the observation of the surrounding fauna: primates, birds, reptiles.... Nature lovers will be delighted. As a bonus: the discovery of rare and ancient peoples, such as the Black Maroons or the Amerindians. This option requires between 4 and 5 free days and can be expensive due to the full cost of transportation, accommodation, activities and food on site by tour operators.

Part of Suriname's Central Nature Reserve, Raleighvallen is recognized worldwide by ornithologists. With a little luck, you may be able to observe rock rooster parades (from November to March).

Meeting with this population of African slaves. Cut in the land, Black-Marrons are divided between French Guiana and Suriname but do not recognize the River Suriname as a border between France and Suriname. They have often moved to rivers and rivers.

At the bottom of the Amazonian forest is Awarradam, an island located on the Suriname River. An excursion here will allow you to meet the Amazonian and African cultures.

Pretty Amerindian village located in the heart of Suriname. About 200 people, mostly Tiriyo Amerindians, live there.

Located on the Palumeu River, these granite mountains are located in the south of the country. Considered one of Suriname's most beautiful tourist tours, but exploring the Kasikasima Mountains requires a certain amount of experience and developed physical fitness.

Hire yourself in canoeing on the Gran Rio River for the day. Adventure and challenges await you!

Guided tour of the historic centre and Fort Zeelandia, local meal (roast, bami, nasi). Boat trip to observe the dolphins of the estuary. Overnight at the hotel or in a guesthouse. Night trip and casinos.

Early departure for the Brownsberg Nature Park. Stroll, discovery of the primary forest and its fauna in the afternoon. Trails vary in length and level of difficulty. Overnight in a bungalow in the park.

Purchase of souvenirs and postcards. Last dive in one of the hotel pools and relaxation before leaving by plane. If you are returning by vehicle to French Guiana, make a stop at Moengo, not far from the Maroni River.
