Peperpot Naturepark by Bike

Meet up at Zus & Zo across from the Palmentuin. Take this time to choose your rental bike, adjust the seat height, test the brakes, and securely pack your biking bags or check child seats before pushing off.

Pedal south through the historic city streets down to the Platte Brug pier, the bustling riverside docking area near the Central Market.

Load your bicycles onto a traditional wooden commuter boat (korjaal). Enjoy the refreshing breeze during the scenic 15-minute boat ride across the wide Suriname River to Meerzorg.

Once on the Commewijne side, cycle along quiet paths. Pause along the way to observe vibrant local cultural scenes, historic wooden architecture, and daily neighborhood life.

Enter the lush, shaded jungle canopy of Peperpot Nature Park. Enjoy a leisurely ride down the flat trails, keeping your eyes peeled to spot monkeys, sloths, and tropical birds.

Make a stop at the historic plantation complex. Step off your bikes for a brief walkthrough of the museum and the old coffee and cocoa factory ruins to learn about the area's colonial history.

Get back on the saddle and bike through the open, rustic pathways of the neighboring Mopentibo plantation, enjoying the rural landscape.

Conclude your rewarding bicycle journey at Boutique Hotel Peperpot. Park your bikes and relax by the riverside terrace with a well-deserved, refreshing drink or lunch!

Hop back on the bikes for a steady, relaxed ride back through Commewijne toward the Meerzorg boat docking area.

Load the bikes onto the korjaal for the return crossing. At approximately 15:00, you will arrive back at Platte Brug, right in the heart of the Paramaribo inner city, to wrap up the tour.
