Arriving at Amotopo - the village itself is a bit uphill into the jungle. One would definitely need GPS coordinates to come here by the river without locals.

Amotopo village. Unfortunatelly, the english  speaking indian, that was there in 2009, moved to another village so our comunication in 2010 was very basic. They know Dutch well.

Walk into jungle with locals. To my suprise, I later realized, that one can see more jungle life in the jungle prepared for tourists with paths in Brownsberg reserve near the capital Paramaribo. We make too much noise crushing branches etc. on the ground, so we don't see much.
