Cola Kreek

Suriname is 80% virgin rain forest and most of the populations lives in the coastal region. To escape the city many Surinamese go into the countryside for some relaxation. Within an hours of Paramaribo there are several small resorts, usually situated on the bank of a river or creek. One of the most well known is Cola Kreek, so named because of the black water. The water actually looks like The Real Thing, which is caused by leaves decomposing. The water has a high concentration of minerals and many people believe it has healing properties. For our banker guests and ourselves Cola Kreek was an ideal place to relax after a couple of busy days.
