Paramaribo and its surroundings

Holland in the tropics

It will remind you of 'Holland in the tropics' as you walk through Paramaribo with its Dutch street names and colonial history; moreover, everyone speaks ordinary Dutch. Paramaribo is also strong-smelling curry, colorful ladies and beautiful wooden buildings. Come home to the capital's lovely relaxed atmosphere. Take a bike ride nearby to peperpot's colonial coffee and cocoa plantations or take a boat ride across the Commewijne River.
