Description
Tour description
This tour runs so rarely that it is on request only, and the groups are very small; please ask us at jennytourssuriname@gmail.com.
Are you a nature lover who loves adventure and likes to roll up your sleeves?
Then join the 2-day expedition through the Coesewijne nature reserve.
You set out into this beautiful, unspoilt area, with no villages, logging or gold-mining camps, and a wonderfully varied landscape of Amazon jungle, lakes, savannahs and swamps.
You glide silently by canoe, so you don't scare the animals away as quickly and get to see a bit more.
At a beautiful spot you set up camp with the guide and prepare dinner and breakfast there.
- An adventurous expedition for nature lovers who like to roll up their sleeves.
- Spot many different animal species.
- Varied landscape of Amazon jungle, lakes, savannahs and swamps.
- Overnight stay in camps you build yourself.
