AWARRADAM

Destination: South America
Place: Suriname

Duration: Half day(s)

Awarradam jungle resort was set up by a number of villagers under guidance of Mr. "Ngan Ngan mang" who is currently also the manager of the resort. This small idyllic island, hidden in the Amazon rainforest, at the foot of the Awarradam rapids, lies at a distance of a half hour by boat from the last village in the living area of the Saramaccans, the largest Maroon community in Suriname. The Maroons are descendents from slaves who, after a heroic fight with the former colonial powers, managed to establish living communities in the Amazon rainforest. These historic facts make Awarradam an ideal place to visit, not only for nature lovers but also for those who wish to learn more about the West African culture as it has remained in Suriname. An unforgettable experience during this tour is a boat trip by night, under the endless starry sky, which will take you to the nearby village Kosindo for an authentic cultural evening of singing and dancing. This tour is recommended for all those who wish to learn more about the culture of the Saramaccans, in their natural habitat, the Amazon rainforest.
