For many travellers, Brownsberg is their first real taste of Suriname’s interior. Three days is enough to see the main waterfalls, camp a night on the edge of the plateau, and watch the Brokopondo Reservoir light up in the morning mist.<\/p>\n

What to know before you go<\/h2>\n

Brownsberg sits at around 510 metres; at night it can cool to 18\u00b0C. Bring a light fleece. The park is managed by Stinasu. Booking ahead via stinasu.sr is wise in high season (July\u2013October and February\u2013March).<\/p>\n

Tip<\/strong>
Travel insurance with medical cover for a \u201cremote area\u201d is no luxury here. The nearest hospital is a 3-hour drive away.<\/div>\n

Day 1 \u2014 Arrival and the Mazaroni Falls<\/h2>\n

The drive from Paramaribo via Brownsweg takes 2.5 to 3.5 hours. Plan to leave before 7 am. The Mazaroni route<\/strong> is the easiest introduction: about 4 km return, almost flat, with a waterfall at the end where you can swim. Allow 2 hours.<\/p>\n

Day 2 \u2014 Witi Creek and the Leo Falls<\/h2>\n

Witi Creek<\/strong> is a descent of about 6 km, with 350 metres of elevation change. The trail is technical. The reward: a waterfall in a rock basin. Allow at least 5 hours and carry 2 litres of water per person.<\/p>\n
