The Tapanahony River originates in the extreme south of Suriname, near the Border Mountains, on the border with Brazil. The winding river is characterized by enormous waterfalls and large rapids such as the Pulugudu falls and the Gran-olo sula. This sula is so wild that everyone has to get out and take all luggage out of the canoe to drag the boat overland along the sula, a unique experience! The Tapanahony River flows into the Marowijne River at Stoelmanseiland, together with the Lawa River.
TAPANAHONY RIVER
Along the upper reaches of the river live the original inhabitants of Suriname, also known as indigenous people . These Trio and Wayana Indians live in villages such as Palumeu and Apetina on the riverbank. In this area, a completely pristine jungle can be found with several bare granite rock formations such as the Tebutop , the Kasikasima mountain range , and Roosevelt Peak. During various expeditions, hikes are made to these peaks to enjoy the enchanting view.
