Highlights
The journey takes you through the districts of Saramacca and Coronie. The first stop is at Weg naar Zee, where you visit a Hindu temple, an important pilgrimage site, and a nearby crematorium. In Saramacca, known for livestock farming and the cultivation of rice and vegetables, you explore Groningen, the main town. Here, you will see the smallest square with the highest number of monuments, reflecting Suriname’s rich multicultural history. The route continues to the Coppename River, which you cross before entering Coronie. Coronie, once thriving on coconut plantations, is now sparsely populated, with villages along the East-West connection. The area is known for its rice fields rich in fish, including the popular kwi-kwi, as well as beekeeping, pure honey, and its gently swaying coconut palms.

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.
