Description
Brokopondo is a district in Suriname located in the central part of the country. It is named after the Brokopondo Reservoir, which was created by the construction of the Afobaka Dam on the Suriname River. This reservoir is one of the largest in the country and plays a crucial role in hydropower generation for Suriname's energy needs.
The town of Brokopondo serves as the administrative capital of the Brokopondo district. It is surrounded by lush tropical rainforest and diverse wildlife, making it a region of natural beauty. The district is sparsely populated compared to other areas of Suriname, and many of its residents are engaged in subsistence farming and fishing.
Brokopondo is not only known for its natural resources but also for its cultural significance. The area is home to several indigenous communities, and visitors often have the opportunity to learn about local traditions, crafts, and ways of life. The blend of natural landscapes and cultural heritage makes Brokopondo a unique destination in Suriname.
