These twin villages are located along the Marowijne River and offer the primary accommodation options, which are typically guesthouses or eco-lodges run by the local Carib and Arawak communities. Staying here provides the most direct access to the village life and the natural surroundings. You'll find the main jetties, community centres, and a few small shops in these areas.
