Suriname is a small country on the northeastern coast of South America.
Despite its location, the official language of Suriname is actually Dutch! Although English is also widely spoken.
It’s defined by its tropical rainforest, Dutch colonial-era architecture and a melting-pot culture.Paramaribo is often called the Wooden City for its colonial architecture of wooden structures and unique designs.
Most people are descendants of African slaves and Indian or Indonesian servants brought over by the Dutch to work in agriculture. There are also Amerindians, the original inhabitants of Suriname and Chinese, mainly descendants of the earliest 19th-century contract workers.
Maroon and Indigenous tribes with well kept ancient traditions and habits have their settlements mainly in the interior of the country. The coastal area is the most populated part of the country and its capital Paramaribo offers an abundance of night life activities.
Nowhere in the world are synagogues and mosques so close to each other as in the Emperor Street in Paramaribo. Suriname has many religions and religious tolerance knows no limits.
Suriname’s rainforest is yet another attraction that the country has to offer. Rich in fauna and flora in a pristine rainforest, tours and tour operators are on the rise. Many tours take people to the interior of the country on overnight or day tours up rivers, waterfalls, African villages, fishing and canoeing.
