Tio Boto is a small eco resort in the jungle of Suriname. It is a 3½ -4½hour boattrip from Atjoni on the Upper Suriname River (during dry season sept-nov, it can take longer with the boat and sometimes you have to step out of the boat and walk on islands/dried rapids). There are 7 cabins with 1-2 person beds with mosquito net. Of course there is the possibility to sleep in a hammock. Tio Boto can be experienced as authentic as you want. Pure and pristine!
At Tio Boto you enjoy the sun, the sounds of the birds and the swimming in the river with its bright, cool water. The more adventurous can fish and prepare their food at a campfire!
This is one of the best tours in Suriname if you want to experience the culture of the Maroons!
Additional you can fish on special places in the jungle, a visit to the maroon museum, a ritual bubbling or enjoy a cultural action. Your guide will be happy to give you further information on the above activities.
