Travel Guide Réserve Naturelle Wane Kreek

Created in 1986, Wanakreek is one of the reserves located between the savannah belt and the old coastal plain, within the Marowijne district. It covers an area of 450 km² and is renowned for its wet savannahs, in which some twenty ecosystems have been identified. Although the area has suffered from mining activities, there is a wide variety of vegetation. There's no shortage of wildlife here either: thousands of Amazona amazonica parakeets breed in the reserve, and the area is important for migratory waterfowl. This nature reserve can be visited from the village of Alfonsdorp.
