After a delicious Surinamese breakfast, the boat trip to the Grandafutusala follows. As a warm-up for the hike, depending on the group and the guides, the Tebu Top can be climbed after arrival or in the afternoon. This will serve as a good warm-up and conditioning for the upcoming walking expedition. In the evening you can enjoy dinner along the sula.
