In September I went to a fellow volunteer's site for a tourist camp opening. The tourist camp had recently finished construction and was throwing their grand opening. We took a boat across the river and after a 25 minute walk through the jungle we arrived at the camp. The owners of the camp hired a local drum band and we dance our hearts out.
The camp was beautiful and we had a blast. Tourism is increasing on the river especially amongst the Dutch who are looking for an adventure. The camp provided us a great meal of chicken, noodles and local vegetables! Peace Corps volunteers will never turn down a free meal!

If you are ever looking for an adventure there are plenty of awesome tourist camps all over Suriname. Most of them offer jungle tours and other fun adventures! Or you can always visit a Peace Corps VOLUNTEER!!!
