Central Suriname Nature Reserve

Central Suriname Nature Reserve is the largest of Suriname's natural reserves, covering around 12% of the country's total land mass, with 40% of the flora and animals found solely in the Guianas. Raleighvallen, Raleigh Falls, is one of the reserve's most spectacular features. Water rushes down from the Coppename River in a long and low stairway. Spider monkeys, Guiana cock-of-the-rock, electric eels, and beautiful exotic birds may all be found here.

Central Suriname Nature Reserve also provides trips and offers housing within the park. You must trek to Voltzbergisa, a 240m granite dome, if you are a hiker. You'll be rewarded with a 360-degree panorama of the whole forest after a two-and-a-half-hour strenuous hike.

Raleighvallen Nature Reserve, Tafelberg Nature Reserve, and Eilerts de Haan Gebergte Nature Reserve formed the Central Suriname Nature Reserve in 1998 to connect three pre-existing reserves: Raleighvallen Nature Reserve, Tafelberg Nature Reserve, and Eilerts de Haan Gebergte Nature Reserve. It boasts a wide variety of plant life as well as 400 different bird species. The Cockatoo, Harpy Eagle, Jaguar, Giant Armadillo, and Giant Otter are among the world's uncommon fauna species.
