The country's longest river (323 miles long) forms the border with Surinam, in the western part of the country. On motorboats driven by experienced staff, you can go on an expedition on the Maroni River, an artery of life, in the middle of the vegetation. From calm waters to rapids called ?jumps', you will cross the land of the Maroon people, before taking 4 to 5 days to go from Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni to Maripasoula. The trip continues upstream on the Inni river to Saut-Sonnelle camp. There, you will find what they call ?carbets': big open huts offering comfortable housing for 2 to 3 days in the heart of lush green nature. If you are seeking a more physical expedition, the Maroni-Tapanahony expedition (on the Surinamese branch of Maroni River) requires 10 days and 5 to 6 hours of sailing per day if you want to discover the Bosh land and Wayanas American Indian populations.
