General information
Authentic cultures, an enchanting nature and unique people from many different origins and the biodiversity of the Amazon rain Forest, the original customs and habits, mark Suriname with a cultural blend that is one of its own kind in the entire world. Suriname is known for its pristine rainforest, exotic plants and animals, wild rapids, large rivers and stunning mountainous areas in the southern part of the country. Dark creeks run through the savannas where white sandy grounds contrast intensely with green trees while palms and huge forest giants in different sorts and colours decorate the magical panorama. 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. Suriname is one of the few countries in South America where casinos are legally allowed and most of these casinos are in the centre of the capital. Paramaribo is often called the Wooden City for its colonial architecture of wooden structures and unique designs. Shame so few international tourists visit Suriname. Its unadulterated inland forests and national parks make it an ideal place for a South American adventure. Everything here in the country of Suriname exhibits one or the other unique quality.
