WELCOME
Suriname, set in a natural tropical wilderness, is a splendid combination of the Caribbean and South America, with fascinating reminders of a sometimes turbulent past. A hospitable country, Suriname, 'home of various cultures', reflect a remarkable cultural tradition of diverse ethnic population groups in both urban and rural centers. Maroons and Amerindians, whom have all but disappeared from Suriname’s northern neighbors, are very much a part of the current landscape and have maintained their ancient traditions. One can visit old plantations which are remembrances of the French, Portuguese and Jewish-Dutch cultures. Suriname's history, a cultural melting pot, will take you to all parts of the world. For nature lovers, the beautiful interior with its meandering rivers, extensive rapids and abundance of flora and fauna will be a true revelation.
