AMATOPO RAINFOREST RETREAT IN REMOTE SURINAME

On request

Hidden in the jungle in the southwest of Suriname lies the Amatopo Rainforest Retreat. This retreat is close to the village; Amatopo, where a small group of Amerindians from the Trio group are living. This place is surrounded by untouched and pristine nature. This is one of the hot spots for nature lovers, were flora and fauna can be experienced in a peaceful atmosphere. From Amatopo we can go on several adventures in order to do some birdwatching, hike jungle trails, step on the boat on the Courantyne River bordering on Guyana. In this trip everything is taken care of, transportation, accommodation, food & drinks and a local guide.

This tour will be guided by a local guide.
If you prefer one of our specialised wildlife guides with you, choose the add-on option during your booking.

Your adventure starts with a local flight from Zorg en Hoop Airport, just outside Paramaribo. As the plane takes off, you’ll get a nice view of the city, the Suriname River, and the Wijdenbosch Bridge.

The flight takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Along the way, you’ll fly over a lot of rainforest and pass by the Bakhuis Mountains. As you get close to Amatopo, you’ll see the Courantyne River, the nearby village, and the lodge before landing on a small airstrip.

WILDLIFE YOU CAN ENCOUNTER AT AMATOPO

Howler monkeys

You’ll likely hear these monkeys before you see them. Their deep howls can carry up to 5 km and are often led by the dominant male. Known as one of the loudest land animals, their calls echo through Suriname’s forests, especially at dawn and dusk. Impressive to hear but tricky to spot.

Green-Winged Macaw

With their bright red feathers, green wings, and loud squawks, these macaws are hard to miss when they fly overhead. They often move in pairs or small groups, gliding gracefully above the forest canopy. In Amatopo, you might spot them feeding on seeds or clay at riverbanks. Bold, colourful, and noisy, they’re a true highlight of any jungle walk.
