Hiking Mount Kasikasima In Suriname: My Experience

I just got back from hiking Mount Kasikasima in Suriname! It’s a fun expedition that involves flying a little bush plane into the jungle, taking a canoe up the river, and climbing one of the middle peaks of the mountain.

Along the way, you get to visit indigenous villages, sleep in hammocks, see wild animals and exotic birds, go swimming and fishing in the creeks, and look out over the Amazon rainforest toward the border of Brazil.

This adventure can be done in either 5 or 8 days, and you’re accompanied by a full crew of Amerindian boatmen, plus a cook and guide to take care of you the whole time. I did the 5 day trip with a small group of European tourists, and we had a great time.
