For decades, outsiders have come to our lands to do research or to guide tourists. Now, we are taking the lead. When you travel with us, there are no middlemen. You are not a customer of a city-based agency; you are a guest of the Wayana Indigenous community.
I came as a tourist, but left as a friend of the Wayana Indigenous.
- Our Mission: Tourism as a Tool for Sovereignty.
We operate together with the Mulokot Foundation, IKSUR and many more local Indigenous organizations and international organizations. We fights for the sustainable development, territorial rights, and cultural preservation of the Indigenous Peoples in Suriname. Every expedition directly funds our community’s autonomy. The revenue does not vanish; it builds our schools, supports our elders, protects our borders from illegal mining, and keeps our traditions alive.
- The Vision: Guardians of the Green Heart
Our vision is simple yet profound: The Amazon is not just a forest; it is a living, breathing entity. The true guardians of this realm are the Wayana people, who have lived in harmony with the Tapanahony and Litani River and the granite giants of Tepu Top and Roosevelt Piek for generations.
Director
Nothing about us, without us! We established this organization to end the practice of state and non-governmental entities making decisions about our lands without our consent. We possess the expertise and the right to manage our own affairs and protect our sovereignty through community-led governance.

We collaborate with national organisations like local Indigenous organizations, the university of Suriname, and NGO's to advocate for sustainable development and territorial rights in Suriname. But also with partners from the Netherlands, the USA and Canada. Our expeditions fund community autonomy, supporting schools, elders, and border protection. We are part of the Mulokot Foundation.
