Nieuw-Koffiekamp is a small resettlement village on the shores of the Brokopondo Reservoir, created when the Afobaka Dam flooded the original Koffiekamp in the 1960s. Visitors can see the quiet community with simple houses, a school, and a church, set against the backdrop of the vast reservoir. The village offers a peaceful atmosphere and a chance to learn about the displacement and adaptation of local Maroon communities. It's a poignant stop for those interested in Suriname's modern history.
