Program

Day 1
The journey starts with a flight from Paramaribo to Palumeu, a leap into the unknown. The afternoon brings an enchanting exploration of Palawa Island, framed by the serene tranquility of the Upper Tapanahony River. As the boat glides slowly, stops at the Indian village of Palumeu are part of the mystery and warmth of the local culture. Returning to your lodging, the evening fills with the promise of adventure as you are prepared for the upcoming expedition to the Kasikasima Mountains.
Day 2
A new day unfolds, shrouded in the mist of the river, as you board the canoe. The journey to the base camp takes you past varying landscapes, from calm waters to beyond the Trombaka sula, where a short walk frames the path. Arriving at base camp is like coming home to the wilderness, with wise advice from the guide on how to spend the night comfortably in a hammock. After supper, a calm descends as guests prepare for the trials of the next day.
Day 3
The dawn awakens a sense of excitement for the unprecedented journey through the jungle. A step into the green includes an unforgettable journey to the top of Kasikasima. During hours of walking, climbing and admiring nature, the highlight comes into view: the mountain plateau. An hour on top of the world, surrounded by the lushness of the Amazon rainforest, nourishes the soul with a profound connection to nature. On return to base camp, dinner brings warmth and conversation, possibly around a crackling campfire under a clear sky.
Day 4
The return journey to Palumeu, gliding to the rhythm of the river, brings moments of reflection. Memories of the expedition are shared during the picnic along the way, while the time between arrival and dinner provides space for personal exploration and rest.
Day 5
The last day embraces the early morning, where the river breathes a serene tranquility in the twilight. A breakfast filled with memories before a visit to the Indian village of Palumeu, where handmade art offers a glimpse of the local craft. The return flight to Paramaribo brings this epic journey to an end, but the memories of the indomitable wilderness will be cherished forever.
