Boven-Suriname (Upper Suriname).
The Upper Surinam area, in which the Anaula Nature Resort is located, is famous for its unique culture of the Maroons and its pure Amazonian forest. The Maroons, descendants of runaway slaves, established themselves in the inaccessible interior long ago, where they built a new existence. Because of their isolated way of life, a completely different culture developed with strong African influences. Maroon villages like Ladoani, Gunsi, New Aurora and JawJaw are located near Anaula Nature Resort. The women in their colorful robes, the children playing on the water side in contrast to the purity of the tropical rain forest, provide a breathtaking scene. The Maroons are proud of their culture and are happy to meet you with their fascinating lifestyle.
