Visiting Botopasi

by duke0123

Interesting is a visit to a village. In Suriname there are some kind of villages like the traditional and the Christian.One of the villages I visited is Botopasi where about 800 people are living. Remarkable in this village is the height of the doors: very small. This is because the inhabitants think that evil ghost can't come in then.To enter or leave a traditional village you have to walk through a gate with leaves hanging. This is to protect the village against the evil ghosts. Men and women have to walk through their own gate.

Visit the rainforest...

by carnaval2002

Visit the rainforest especially places with waterfalls like tbitiesoela, releighvallen;Also don't forget to take your time to know the cuisine from Suriname which consist of specialities from african, indian, indonesian, chinese and indian people. You also must see the sun coming up from a place called Albina in the east.Look also at the men (the most) who arrive every sunday morning early on a square with their caved birds. These birds do make distinctive sounds and are very special for Surinam people. If your there in december the 31st you must be in the city the whole day and feel how the people are anxious for the new year. The people like firework a lot and notice the red papers on the ground in my picture.

Visit Brownsberg National...

by K1W1

Visit Brownsberg National Park. Bookings are through Stenasu´s office in Paramaribo. We got to use our own hammocks in their shelter for USD 7.50 per night. The trails are easy walking to waterfalls (with just a short, steep downhill for a few of them)

take trips over the rivers!...

by Zus

take trips over the rivers! Along the rivers of Suriname, there are still a lot of old plantations you can visit. My mom is from there, so a lot of family still lives there. I feel connected when I'm there, just love the country. The food, the people, the weather, just everything.

Going to see the Rain Forest....

by evybaby

Going to see the Rain Forest. Sightseeing around town. And celebrating New Years Eve and Suriname Independance Day. The food, the people....how freindly they are. And the non-racial outlook they have on life.

Introduction Suriname...

by pjallittle

Introduction Suriname is an unusual cultural enclave with an extraordinary ethnic variety deriving from Dutch colonization, the early importation of African slaves and, later, indentured laborers from India and Indonesia. Warning Following protests in Paramaribo in July 1999, the US State Department advised US citizens to be wary of future demonstrations, although no significant protests were reported in the year 2000. Petty lawlessness, as well as more serious and violent crime, is on the rise in Paramaribo, Albina and Moengo, and increasingly deeper in the country's interior, perhaps due to the government-sanctioned February 2001 release of nearly 100 prison inmates to relieve overcrowding in the country's main incarceration facility, Santo Boma, in Paramaribo.WARNINGS should be viewed with common sense. I really don't think there is a problem here for the average tourist. Why not...
