Nature

The Sipaliwini Savanna is a 100,000 hectare nature reserve. It has been a protected area since 1972. The majority of the reserve consists of a savannah which in turn is a continuation of the Brazilian Tumucumaque Mountains National Park. The reserve is in pristine condition with almost no human habitation. This reserve is one of the last frontiers in the tropics, however relatively little is known about the region. The savannah is where the blue poison dart frog was discovered in 1969.

Archaeology

The Werehpai archaeological site, which consists of caves containing petroglyphs of pre-Columbian origin, is located about 10 kilometres from Kwamalasamutu. On the Sipaliwini Savanna relics were discovered of human habitation dating from about 6000 BC.
