Washabo is a town in Suriname, located in the Kabalebo resort of Sipaliwini district. The town lies on a bend in the Corantijn river (Courantyne), on the border with Guyana.[2] Washabo is an indigenous[3] village of the Lokono tribe[1] near Apoera. It has a population of about 600 people.[1] According to the oral tradition, the village was founded in the 1920s by the Lingaard family.[4]
The village generally does not allow non-tribal people to live in their village unless they are married to a member of the tribe. Washabo has a clinic and a school. Washabo can be reached from an unpaved road from the Southern East-West Link.[4] The Washabo Airport is located in the village.[5] Up to 1995, the villages of Apoera, Washabo and Section were governed by the same village chief due to their close proximity.[4]
