GENERAL INFORMATION

Suriname is a republic headed by an elected President. The National Assembly is the highest political organ representing the people. Nearly all of our 420.000 inhabitants live in the coastal area. The interior is home to small and scattered communities of Indigenous peoples and Marrons (Maroons), descendants of runaway slaves. The official language is Dutch, but Sranantongo is the general lingua franca, while Suriname Javanese and Sarnami Hindustani are widely spoken too. The different Marron and Indigenous tribes speak their own languages. Many Surinamese also speak English.

LOCATION

Suriname is located on the north-east coast of South America and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north, French Guiana to the east, Brazil to the south and Guyana to the west. Its landarea is 163,265 square kilometers, or 63,064 square miles. The capital is Paramaribo, which lies on the west bank of the Suriname river and has around 210.00 inhabitants. The second largest city is New Nickerie, with approximately 45.000 inhabitants, located on the east bank of the Corantijn river, Suriname's western border.

CLIMATE

Suriname has a tropical humid climate with dry and rainy seasons. The short rainy season in December and January, the long rainy season from April to July. The most pleasant times to visit Suriname are the dry seasons; the short dry season from February to April and the long dry season from August to November. Throughout the year the average daily temperature varies between 21 and 32 C. Suriname lies outside the hurricane zone and the most extreme wheather condition is the "sibibusi" (which means forest broom), a heavy rainshower.

FLORA & FAUNA

Nearly 80% of our country is covered with tropical rainforests, and these are among the most unspoiled in the world. Suriname's nature is protected by a system of 19 nature reserves and other protected areas, in which one can find countless species of plants, birds, mammals, and reptiles. Four kinds of sea turtles (the krape, the warana, the karet and the aitkanti) lay their eggs on some spots along Suriname's coast between February and July. Behind the coastal plain, there are the so-called swamp forests, where parwa and mangrove grow. Behind these swampforests we find so-called lagoons or 'pannen,' which are filled with fish fit for consumption. In the swampforests, many birds, such as the red ibis and the flamingo, build nests and search for food. Behind the coastal plains and swamps, we find the small savanna belt, famous for the many creeks with brown water, which are in vogue as a recreational area. Then we have the tropical rainforest, which is part of the enormous Amazon area. This forest covers around 80% of Suriname's territory. Three hundred species of trees have been counted, of which 50 are commercially viable. Suriname's rainforest knows many species of animals and plants. Here we find cat-like creatures such as the jaguar, the puma and the ocelot. Among the many bird species, we find the cock-of-the-rock, the flamingo, and the harpy eagle, parrots, aras, macaws, hummingbirds and toucans. The many kinds of songbirds, which are found in the savanna and at the edge of the forest, also deserve mention. Some species are bred for competitions! The armadillo, the anteater, the capybara (the world's largest rodent), the sloth, several species of deer, wild boars and monkeys, such as the howler monkey, are also part of Suriname's fauna. You can also find several caiman species, otters, manatees, turtles, and tropical fish, such as the piranha, in the rivers and swamps. Snakes, frogs and reptiles are there in all kinds and sizes, both poisonous and non-poisonous. However, the harmless kinds are in the majority. A striking inhabitant of Suriname's rainforests is the protected blue poison frog. The black and blue morpho butterflies are also very beautiful. Suriname also has many scorpion species, and these are not always deadly. The most famous flower of Suriname is the 'fajalobi' (passionate love) or ixora, which is mainly grown in the coastal plains in gardens. Suriname's rainforests are home to several orchid species. As they mostly grow high in trees, their beauty can seldom be seen, however. However, other flowers, such as the heliconia and the passionflower, can be seen when they bloom.

PEOPLE & HISTORY

Paleolithic hunters first undertook the journey to the Americas some 15,000 years ago. Based on archaeological finds in the Sipaliwini area, it is supposed that these travelers reached Suriname some 10,000 years ago. However, Arrawaks were the first to settle in Suriname's coastal area around 500 AD. Around 1100 AD, Caribs also settled in Suriname. Suriname was first seen by whites at the end of the 15th century, namely by the Spaniards, who were not interested in colonizing the area, however. Alonso de Ojeda, who accompanied Columbus, is generally considered Suriname's 'discoverer,' but it is not certain whether he set foot on land. Domingo de Vera took possession of the area for the Spanish crown only in 1593. Suriname became a colony that changed hands between the Spanish, English and Dutch. Plantations were set up during the next centuries as the main economical activity. The labor force on the plantations consisted of African slaves, many of whom escaped to the interior and fought against the white colonists. These escaped slaves and their descendants have developed a unique culture with many African influences. Slavery was abolished in 1863, and contract laborers from China, India and Indonesia replaced the former slaves. However, the plantations had no future, and Suriname's economy soon acquired another base. Bauxite was discovered in the Marowijne area at the beginning of this century, and soon bauxite mining became the most important economic activity, particularly during World War II. Suriname became an autonomous part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1954. Full independence was only granted in 1975. Now, Suriname is a constitutional democracy seeking its own place in the world.

THINGS TO DO

Suriname is the place to go whether you are a nature lover or a party animal, whether you are looking for something different or a relaxing place this vacation. But there are also many other interesting things to do and to see in Suriname. How about a jungle trip by dugout canoe to the Indigenous and Maroon communities and see some of world's last, really unspoiled flora and fauna on your way - or a sightseeing tour of the capital Paramaribo with its unique wooden architecture, colorful market, woodcarving, basket weaving and pottery handicrafts and its variety of restaurants? Or take a trip to the beach in season to watch the turtles lay their eggs and swim in the Cola-creek near the airport, with its brown but unpolluted water that looks like Coca Cola. Some events are organized each year, such as the 'Avond Vierdaagse,' a four-day parade of several groups through Paramaribo's streets during the Easter holidays and several activities at the end of the year in December. At that time, the main center of activity is the grounds of 'Het Vat' and 'De Kuip' at the Kleine Waterstraat. In addition, several groups organize activities in connection with national holidays. February -- Carnival celebrations at 'Het Vat' April -- 'Avond Vierdaagse;' a four-day parade of several groups through Paramaribo's streets during the Easter holidays May 1 -- Labor Day; activities in the area of the Waterfront and the Palmentuin May/June -- Open Student Song Festival June 30 -- Miss Alida Pageant, with as theme "The bigi koto" July 1 -- 'Keti Koti' or Emancipation Day with several activities in the whole country July -- Suripop Festival for composers (every two years) November 25 -- Independence Day with several activities in the whole country December -- Year's end celebrations on the grounds of 'Het Vat' and 'De Kuip' at the Kleine Waterstraat Several auto rallies TOURISM AREAS Paramaribo The capital Paramaribo is the administrative and economic center. It originated in the 17th century around an old trading post and Fort Willoughby, which was renamed Fort Zeelandia after Crijnssen's conquest in 1667. Crijnssen made the settlement near the fort. He called it Nieuw Middelburg. Some months later, the British took over the fort again, but under the Peace of Breda, Suriname became a Dutch colony again. Crijnssen's name for the new capital has never been accepted. The popular name for the capital is still 'foto,' derived from 'fort.' The name Paramaribo is derived from 'Paramurubo,' the name of an old Arrawak village, which means 'city of parwa blossoms.' In Paramaribo, it is evident what a melting pot Suriname's community is. The different ethnic groups live together here. The city is dominated by old colonial wooden buildings, but here we also find modern stores and office buildings, and several monuments and religious buildings. Sights in Paramaribo

Central Market

Here you can find tropical fruit and vegetables galore. You will run into a cross-section of Suriname's inhabitants here.

Palm Gardens

These gardens are behind the Presidential Palace, and are famous for their stately palmtrees.

Waterfront / Independence Square

The center of activity during national holidays. There are also several foodstands along the Waterfront.

Fort Zeelandia / Suriname Museum

The historic Fort Zeelandia has been turned into a museum, which highlights Suriname's history and arts.

Religious buildings

All major religions are represented. The Roman Catholic Cathedral, the two Jewish synagogues and the Reformed Church are major historic buildings.

Commewijne The Commewijne area is well known for its old plantations, such as Meerzorg, Peperpot, Frederiksdorp, Alliance and Mari‰nburg, and fishing villages such as Pomona, Johanna Margaretha ('Margrita'), Rust en Werk and Bakki or Reynsdorp. These plantations, which are situated on both the right and left banks of the Commewijne river, are still populated, and played an important part in Suriname's economy during their heyday. The Matapica area along the coast is used each year by sea turtles to lay eggs. Further west we find Braamspunt, where an old fort (Batterij Byam's Point, later Batterij Braamspunt) has been washed away by the sea, and where many people go to for a 'day on the beach.' The capital of the Commewijne district, Nieuw Amsterdam, is well known for the old fort, which was built between 1743 and 1758, and now is part of an open-air museum, which contains many interesting exhibits. Para The Para district is particularly attractive for daytrips. It is very pleasant swimming in the many creeks with brown water in that area. Famous are Colakreek, Bersaba and Carolinakreek. Further down in the Para area we find Jodensavanne, which was established in the 17th century by Portuguese Jews. After a period of prosperity and growth, the place was abandoned after a fire in 1832. During World War II, it was an internment camp for people suspected of pro-Nazi sympathies. Now the ruins of the synagogue "Beracha Ve Shalom" (Blessings and Peace) can still be seen. In Jodensavanne, there are also an old cemetery and a medicinal spring, which is already mentioned in old Jewish writings. The Indigenous village of Cassipora and the recreational resort Blakawatra, which was established in the '60s as a vacation home for former Prime Minister J.A. Pengel, are also part of the area. Para is very important for the country's economy, as this area is the main center of bauxite mining and processing. The tourist, who wants to know Suriname's interior, but does not like long trips, can make a daytrip to Santigron at the Saramacca River, 30 kilometers south of Paramaribo. This village was founded after the abolition of slavery in 1863 near an old lumber plantation and sawmill, and several Marron tribes, such as Aucans, Saramaccans and Matawai live there. Santigron can be easily reached via the Jawaweg near Lelydorp. Brokopondo Deeper in the interior, the Stinasu foundation manages the Brownsberg nature reserve in the Brokopondo area. On the top of the mountain we find the Mazaroni plateau, on which sleeping quarters and some bungalows have been built. From the plateau, there are walking routes to the lower falls such as the Irene falls and the Leo falls. After a long walk in the forest, you can take a refreshing bath in the Wittikreek. This nature area is famous for the different species of animals which can be seen and heard, such as the howler monkey and birds such as the bell bird, toucans, parrots, aras, hummingbirds and woodpeckers. At the foot of the Brownsberg lies the transmigration village of Brownsweg. The village and the mountain have been named after John Brown, an American who has a gold concession at the end of the 19th century. A hydroelectric dam was built in the Suriname river near Afobakka between 1961 and 1964. The Brokopondo Lake came into being as a result of this. Recently, the Brokopondo area has become known for gold mining in the Gross Rosebel area near the transmigration village of Nieuw Koffiekamp. Nickerie There are rice fields along the road to Nickerie. Nieuw Nickerie is Suriname's second city, given the population and economic activities. From Nieuw Nickerie, a ferry can take you to Springlands in Guyana. Upper Nickerie river The Blanche Marie Falls are in the Upper Nickerie river. After an adventurous cartrip, you can fish in the river or take walk through the forest. Sipaliwini In the south of Suriname, near the border with Brazil, we find Indigenous tribes such as the Trio, Wajana and Akurio, which have only recently come into contact with the outside world. The largest villages in this area are Palumeu, Pelelutepu and Kwamalasamutu. If you want to make an adventurous trip in Suriname, you can take a trip with a four-wheel car by road and continue by dugout canoe over the river. These river trips are very exciting, and often take you to rapids (called 'sulas' in Suriname). The Marron boatsman knows the river like the back of his hand. Saramacca area The Raleigh Falls/Voltzberg nature reserve , managed by Stinasu, is situated at the Upper Coppename river. This area can be reached through the road to Witagron, and from there the journey is continued by boat. The trip can also be made by plane. The Voltzberg is 240 meters high and it is really a rock sticking out above the forest. This area is loved by bird lovers, who go there to admire the many beautiful bird species such as aras, toucans, parrots and cocks-of-the-rock. Upper Marowijne and Tapanahony The different villages along the Marowijne and its tributaries, the Lawa and Tapanahony, can be reached via Albina and Langatabbetje. Langatabbetje (or Langatabiki, means 'long river island') is part of the territory of the Paramaccans, a Marron tribe that was formed in the 18th century by runaway slaves from plantations along the Commewijne and Cottica rivers. It is also the residence of their chief or 'granman.' After a series of spectacular falls, we reach Stoelmanseiland at the point where the Lawa and Tapanahony merge into the Marowijne river. There is a small airfield there. From the island, you can make daytrips to French and Surinamese villages along the Lawa and Tapanahony. the village of Drietabbetje, residence of the 'granman' of the Aucans, is along the Tapanahony. there are a medical post and an airfield here. Benzdorp along the Lawa river is currently a gold mining center. Diamond and platinum deposits are also suspected in the area.
