Cola Creek
Cola Creek (Dutch: Colakreek) is a blackwater creek in Suriname's Para District.
The name refers to the colour of the water, which resembles that of Coca-Cola. On weekends many tourists visit the creek from Paramaribo as it is only a short drive away. The resort on the creek was built during World War II for the American soldiers stationed at Zanderij.
