Today, we flew from Georgetown, Guyana to the Kabalebo Resort a few hours up the Kabaleto River. It's the only river in Suriname that doesn't host an indigenous community. Instead, twenty-five years ago, the ecolodge now called the
Kabalebo Resort began. Operated by descendants of the original Amerindian and African Maroons, it's a three-star resort 150 miles from the nearest road which serves both the avid fly-fisherman and travel adventurer.
Over the next three days, we'll hike through the rain forest, canoe to rapids, spot an assortment of birds, flowers, trees, and animals. Learning from those raised in the forest about the many uses of everything around us, it brought unusually rich insight into this precious environment.
It's Wednesday night, and in order to make a weight limit on the small planes which transported us into the far reaches of the rain forest, my laptop stayed behind in stored luggage. Consequently, my ability to post daily reports had to be sacrificed. Instead, this post will link to the past three day's photo albums (Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday). We hope they give you a sense of the wonderfully relaxing and stimulating times it provided us.
