Warappa Creek
Commewijne River – Bakkie – Alliance – Warappa Creek – Atlantic Ocean

Departure from Paramaribo by bus through the district of Commewijne. From Alkmaar we travel by boat on the Commewijne River to the former plantation of Reynsdorp, the little village ‘Bakkie’.

Depending on the tide we might first visit Bakkie and it’s museum where we can find all kinds of utensils that were found while excavating the Warappa creek. After this we go for a ride behind a tractor along the still active citrus plantation of Alliance followed by a nice lunch.

After lunch we will take a boat ride through the Warappa creek. A beautiful creek that has just been re-excavated. After the abolition of slavery it became completely silted up and nature as well as historical places of interest were thus conserved.

Along the way we visit an old steam-driven sugar factory from the 1830’s as well as other old constructions and authentic elements from the colonial plantation period. After a while the creek transforms into an old canal. This is where the birdwatcher’s paradise starts. If we’re lucky we can spot large flocks of birds including the Scarlet Ibis and roseate spoonbill.

We continue our trip until we reach the Atlantic Ocean where we enjoy the sights from the bird watching cabin and take a walk on the rugged beach. We return to Bakkie for a sanitary stop before heading home.

At the end of the afternoon we return to the city.
