Together with my friends Paul, Albert and Bret and our guides Hendrik1, Hendrik2 (not his brother) and Kazan, we had 8 unforgettable days in the hinterland of Suriname on the Grand Rio near the SintiaDam. The nights, the water, the food, the djogos and the jungle with all its surprises and being alone together, there with almost nothing. This will be my 2nd place to get homesick for.

We had unforgettable days last summer. Sensi, together with two other guides, showed us much of the jungle, plants and animals on three walks. Macaws, toucans, howler monkeys, many species of colorful toads, beautiful palm species, telephone tree... With beautiful views of the top of two mountains. The food was excellent, including fish from the river. Swimming was wonderful at the Sintiadam. Sleeping in the hammocks is an experience. And always felt safe with these fantastic guides.
