About Brownsberg Nature Park

 

Brownsberg Nature Park, located approximately 130 kilometers south of Paramaribo, Suriname, is a protected area known for its unique geographical positioning atop the Brownsberg mountain. The park covers an area abundant with lush tropical rainforest, offering a haven for a wide array of flora and fauna, including over 350 bird species, jaguars, and capuchin monkeys. Historically, the area was utilized for gold mining, which has since ceased, allowing for remarkable biodiversity recovery. Visitors marvel at scenic waterfalls such as the Irene and Leo Falls, and can embark on extensive hiking trails that traverse panoramic lookouts and dense forest pathways. The park is particularly appealing to adventurers interested in ecology, as well as those seeking to indulge in tranquil nature explorations far from urban life.
