Galibi, Nature reserve at Marowijne River, Suriname
The Galibi Nature Reserve extends along the coast where the Marowijne River meets the Atlantic Ocean, creating diverse ecosystems of rainforest and beaches.
The area formerly contained the town of Alusiaka, which inhabitants abandoned following mistreatment of workers by the Dutch West India Company in colonial times.
The indigenous Kalina Amerindians maintain their traditional practices in the villages of Christiaankondre and Langamankondre within the reserve boundaries.
Visitors need to arrange transportation from Paramaribo to Albina, followed by a boat journey across the Marowijne River to access the reserve.
The reserve hosts nearly half of the global Leatherback turtle population during their nesting season between February and June.
