Second day Whoever wants, can
joint the walk to the top of the Teboe. This strenuous walk will take (going and
coming) approximately four to five hours. Without the Indian guides we would be
completely lost. They find the way in a manner that is impossible
for others to follow. A broken branch or piece of a bark from a tree trunk made by other visitors help them determines the way. They also make their own signs along the way
to help
others, who will come afterwards to find their way. To cross-creeks we balance carefully on fallen
tree trunks.
Then: the climbing to the top of the Teboe includes climbing over rocks. An
awesome view above the canopy, and the Rosevelt - peak appears .At the
top it is brilliant: we see flying birds
looking for
prey, in the distance hills, and as far as the eye could see the green from the
tops of trees. Those who are lucky may see a rainbow. At the
top, a
simple altar is prepared with empty tins of soda drinks and beer. Those who want to end the day quietly can enjoy the rushing waters of the Granda Foetoe, which is an hour rowing from the camp. Others may go fishing with the Indian guides. |
| Third day We visits a farming area where the Indians plant and produce, such as cassava. This farming area takes much work and care: trees must be cut down and the ground has to be burned to clear the land. Sowing, weeding, battling with ants who can easily eat all that has been planted; and reaping. We row on to the Granda Foetoe rapids. Then we walk an hour through different kinds of bush to the Man-Granda Foetoe, which looks out on the mountain. In the afternoon you are free again to do what you want: read a book in the hammock, go fishing, hunting or fetch wood with the Indians. Fourth day Leave for Peluwime. We can purchase traditional articles and souvenirs from the villagers. Everyone shows his wares, there is a large selection from which to choose. This is one way that the Indians can earn some money, since the opportunity to do so is very limited. After a farewell visit to the Chief, we leave by plane back to Paramaribo early in the afternoon. |
