We leave Paramaribo for a drive to the top of the beautiful Brownsberg.
The guide takes you on an interesting hike through the forest to the lower situated idyllic waterfalls. After getting up the mountain again a meal and hammock will be the two things you will most enjoy.
Waking up in at Brownsberg is often accompanied by the roar of howler monkeys.
After being awoken by nature you can enjoy the beautiful sunrise before you will be served a delicious breakfast. Next is a hike to one of the many waterfalls at Brownsberg. In the afternoon you will be back on the platform to start our journey back to Paramaribo.

Most tour operators (like Orange Travel) list their rates in Euro.
The most advantageous way to pay is cash or by bank* in Euro.
Followed by cash in SRD or U$D, then POS in SRD * and finally a credit card payment **.
* If there are any additional bank charges, these should be paid by the customer. If it turns out that not the full agreed amount is credited to our account, the difference should still be paid before participating or checking in.
** When using POS (our machine only excepts SRD) we will use the daily exchange rate of the cambio’s. As these sometimes differ significantly from the rate your- and our bank uses, you can come out worse between 10% and 30% (in this Orange Travel has no benefit, yet influence).
*** All credit card payments are processed in U$D and a bank fee is added. The fee for Visa and MasterCard is 5% (in this Orange Travel has no benefit, yet influence). This payment method requires you to show your passport.
