Højdepunkter
About 50 kilometers south of Paramaribo, on the right bank of the Suriname River, lies Jodensavanne, a former Jewish settlement. The site is named after Jews who fled the Inquisition around 1650 and settled in this savanna area. The location was favorable, with a hill overlooking plantations and access to two water sources, one believed to have medicinal qualities. For many years, Jodensavanne was the center of the Jewish community in Suriname. The settlers owned plantations where crops like sugarcane were cultivated, often named after Biblical places such as Hebron and Bersaba. In 1832, a major fire destroyed much of the settlement, after which the population moved to Paramaribo. Today, the ruins of the oldest Jewish synagogue in the Americas and the cemetery can still be seen. During the tour, a guide shares the rich history of this once-thriving community, followed by a traditional Surinamese lunch before returning to Paramaribo.

About Paramaribo
Paramaribo is the capital of Suriname, a river city of white wooden colonial buildings on the Suriname River, with a World Heritage historic centre.
Paramaribo lies on the Suriname River in the north of South America's smallest independent country, and its historic inner city, a World Heritage site, is a grid of white wooden buildings with shutters and high roofs from the Dutch colonial period. Fort Zeelandia dates from the 1600s, and the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, a wooden building of the nineteenth century, is among the largest wooden churches in the Americas.
