Peperpot Tour – Historical Plantation & Nature Park (Suriname)

Plantation Peperpot is one of the oldest and most significant plantations in Suriname and offers a special combination of history, nature and tranquility. Tobacco was grown here as early as the end of the 17th century, later followed by coffee and cocoa. The characteristic canals that still run through the plantation forest tell the story of how coffee used to be transported by boat to the drying places. While walking along the well-trodden paths, you will discover old locks, historic buildings and vegetable gardens that are now maintained by locals. The route leads through both the former plantation landscape and the Peperpot Nature Park, where tropical forest and rich flora and fauna come together. This unique setting makes Peperpot Plantation a quiet and inspiring destination for lovers of culture, nature and heritage.
