Suriname Sights

  1. Mt Kasikasima

    To the south of the Amerindian village of Palumeu, in the far south of Suriname, is the 718m (2335ft) Mt Kasikasima. Reaching this remote and beautiful granite mountain involves a couple of days in a dugout canoe and a fairly vigorous climb to the summit. Intrepid travelers will be rewarded with stunning views and a true wilderness experience.

  2. Nieuw Nickerie

    Suriname's second city is a little sleepy and non-descript. At the heart of the country's rice production area, well-loved by mosquitoes, Nieuw Nickerie is a good stopover on your way to the beautifully named South Drain where the ferry to Guyana departs. Bird-watchers should hire a local fisherman to take them through the Bigi-Pan, a protected area.

  3. Palumeu

    On the banks of the Tapanahoni River, Palumeu is a tranquil Amerindian village that has begun to welcome visitors in the hope of creating a sustainable future outside of the logging and hunting industries. It provides a rare chance for travelers to stay in a comfortable rainforest lodge deep in the heart of Suriname and get about in a dugout canoe.
