Paramaribo

Suriname, located on the northeastern coast of South America, is a dreamy destination for travelers seeking to experience a harmonious blend of cultural diversity, natural beauty, and rich history. Known as the smallest independent country on the South American continent, Suriname brims with an exciting mix of indigenous culture, Asian, African, Jewish, and Dutch influences. The main draw includes the Central Suriname Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site, housing one of the planet’s largest tropical rainforest ecosystems. Visitors also delight in exploring its vibrant capital, Paramaribo, renowned for colonial architecture like the 17th-century Fort Zeelandia, while its cosmopolitan cuisine reflects its multi-ethnic population. Being a diverse ethnic melting pot, Suriname offers truly extraordinary travel experiences.

The trips to the Jungle are amazing! Here, you can sleep for several nights in a hammock and go on large hikes. In the middle of the Jungle, there are villages where we will play volleyball with the local population. The life there is wonderful!

The city itself is on daytime quite safe and normal, the only thing is that of you are white the men on the street Will call you names and whistle. I would not recommend to go outside by night by yourself because then it gets a little shady
