Kasikasima, also spelt Kassikassima, is a mountain in the
Sipaliwini District of
Suriname. It is high.
The village of
Paloemeu and its
Vincent Fayks Airport are north, and are the entry point for canoe ride tours to the mountain provided by several tour companies.
Kasikasima as well as the
Tebutop, the
Magneetrots, and the
Roseveltpiek were first mapped in 1904 during the
Tapanahony expedition.
Kampu
In the 1990s, a village called ''Kampu'' was set up near Mount Kasikasima at the instigation of an evangelist, who had the intention of making the place a bible camp and meeting point of the
Tiriyó of Suriname and Brazil. The population as of 2013 is 10 to 20 people.
