Located at the mouth of the Suriname River, the sultry capital Paramaribo is packed with Dutch colonial buildings, vibrant nightclubs and excellent restaurants serving the spicy fusion cuisine of its diverse population, largely descended from escaped African slaves (known as cimarroni), immigrant workers from India, Indonesia and China, English and Dutch settlers, and indigenous Amerindians.

The old plantation houses recall a dark chapter in Suriname’s history, when it was one of the most brutal slave colonies in the world. More than 90% of the territory is covered with wild jungles that can be reached in a few hours by car or boat, offering wildlife sightings and an insight into the culture of the cimarroni.
