Kasikasima 8 days expedition - 8 Days

Overview

In the deep south of Suriname, close to the border with Brazil, in the almost unspoiled rainforest lies the challenge of this tour: the mysterious 718 meter high Kasikasima mountain range with no less than 12 peaks!
The Kasikasima jungle tour is a unique tour where you get to know the pristine rainforest up close, several impressive rapids, and spend the night in simple hammock camps with the aim of climbing one of the peaks of the granite mountain range.
In other words, if you are an adventurous nature lover who loves a challenge, then this is the tour for you!

Highlights:

– Climbing Kasikasima Mountain range
– Adventurous overnight stays
– Exciting boat trips and on foot through the jungle
– Introduction to Native American culture
– Flight in and out over the huge green Amazon jungle
