Gran Rio Tour

We leave Paramaribo early for Atjoni, a drive of 3 to 4 hours. From Atjoni we sail another 3 to 4 hours along the river to Kumalu/Pingpe, where we spend the first night on the island.

Around 9:00 a.m. we leave Kumalu/Pingpe. On the way we sail past the Tapawatra Falls and stop at the Grandan rapids. After 2 to 3 hours of sailing we arrive in the village of Kajana, where we have lunch.

In the afternoon we take a village walk and see with our own eyes what local life is like; along the way there is an opportunity to buy souvenirs. We stay overnight in beds at Kosindo Resort.

Around 9:00 a.m. we get ready to leave for Sintiadam. We sail past the Awaradam rapids and the accompanying resort, with a possible photo stop. After 3 to 5 hours of sailing, stopping along the way to spot wildlife, we arrive at Sintiadam in the afternoon.

In the evening we enjoy a campfire and sleep in hammocks.

Around 8:00 a.m. we leave for the hike to the Turtle Mountain. Around 4:00–5:00 p.m. we are back at Sintiadam.

At 6:00 a.m. we take a morning boat trip: we wake up on the river with a cup of coffee or tea. Between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon we take a morning walk with explanations about flora and fauna.

At the end of the afternoon we swim and fish at Sintiadam. After dinner we take a night boat trip, hoping to hear night sounds and see nocturnal animals.

We leave for the villages, a boat trip of 3 to 4 hours. We have lunch in one of the villages and then travel on to Kumalu/Pingpe.

Around 7:30 a.m. we leave by boat for Atjoni. We have lunch in Atjoni and are back in Paramaribo between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m.
