“Little Africa” in Suriname<\/h2>\n

Deep in the jungle live the Maroons (descendants of runaway slaves). Because of its remote location, the ‘West African’ culture here has remained more intact than in the areas where the slaves originally came from, it is said. You fly a small plane to Kajana; a canoe takes you the last 10 kilometers to this area. The Awarradam lodge<\/strong> is about a 20 minute boat ride from the last village. It has a stunning location on the rapids of the Gran Rio River,<\/strong>which gives you a beautiful view from the balcony of your traditionally built lodge.<\/p>\n
