The Lely Mountains (Dutch: Lelygebergte, Ndyuka: Ando Busiman Mongo) are a mountain plateau on the left bank of the Tapanahony and Marowijne rivers in Suriname. The plateau has a maximum altitude of about 685 metres (2,247 ft). In 2005, 25 new species were discovered in the Lely Mountains.[1]
The mountain range is named after Cornelis Lely, a former governor of Suriname. The Ndyuka maroons call the mountains the Ando Busiman Mongo after the famed Ndyuka explorer Ando Busiman.[2]
