Santa Mission
Santa Mission is a friendly Indigenous Arawak village set in the forest near a black-water creek. It is reached by a scenic boat ride from the coast through mangroves and jungle.
Visitors love Santa Mission because families share their traditions, crafts, and way of life in the forest. It is a warm place to learn how people have lived close to nature for many, many years.
Black-Water Creek
The village sits beside a creek whose water is the color of dark tea, stained by leaves and roots. The calm, cola-colored water is safe and refreshing for a gentle swim on a hot day.
Crafts and Traditions
Local families weave baskets, carve wood, and make craft from forest materials to share with guests. Children can try grinding cassava and learn how tasty flatbread is made from a jungle root.
A Boat Ride Adventure
Getting to Santa Mission means a fun boat trip along winding creeks lined with tall trees. Along the way you might spot kingfishers diving and turtles sunning on the logs.
