Description

Brownsberg Nature Park is an elevated plateau that is known for its rich biodiversity and breathtaking views. The plateau and the slopes are covered with pristine rainforest, which is in some places very low and dense and in others high and open. From the town of Brownsweg, there are several forest trails that allow you to discover the Surinamese forest and the associated undergrowth species. Depending on the trails you take, you can have access to viewpoints over the lake and viewpoints over waterfalls. The trails offer excellent opportunities to spot birds such as the Channel-billed Toucan, Pompadour Cotinga, Black-tailed Trogon, Guianan Red-Cotinga, Black Curassow and Grey-winged Trumpeter​.
