Interesting place to visit. Lots of trails to walk. We heard monkeys but couldn't actually see them. Also, we were told someone saw a sloth. How cool. Nice place to explore and get the feel of the rain forest. Amazing.
What a great day out! We arrived early so as to avoid the mid day sun and heat. Take plenty of water with you and some snacks. Recommend you either wear trouser and long sleeves or definitely take mosquito repellent. Price of entry is 100SRD for a local and 200SRD for a tourist. The park has one main route in a straight line with a couple of side trails. We manage to spot 5 sloth and plenty of various monkey species. You can rent bikes here, although we didn’t so I’m not sure of the prices. Along the route there are plenty of places to stop and rest on a bench. There’s also a tower that you can climb which takes you up into the rainforest canopy.
All in all an excellent day and highly recommend.
Beautiful biking trails!
The canoe route doesn't seem to be getting the proper maintenance
Almost no proper signals on which way to go and it's not possible to go further to the bridge anymore, lots of branches in the way
All in all still a fun place
Don't forget your musquito spray!!

Peperpot Nature Park offers a unique and immersive experience where visitors can explore former coffee and cocoa plantations, spot monkeys, birds, lizards, and even sloths. The park provides opportunities for adventurous canoe tours with sightings of wildlife like monkeys along the way. Visitors enjoy peaceful walks through nature trails while encountering various animals like lizards, birds, and monkeys. Some caution is advised as there have been encounters with bees on the paths.Review score

It was a very adventurous Kano tour with my family, it's also kids friendly and safe. Along the trip we saw some monkeys. We paddled a distance of about 3 km in 3 hours.
Amazing walk that you can get to from Paramaribo by taxi for 450 Suriname Dollars. Saw various monkeys, birds and even heard a howler monkey.
I'll never travel to Suriname without this trip planner again
