About Suriname

This former English colony was conquered by the Dutch in 1667. In 1954, the country became an autonomous region of the Netherlands and in 1975 Suriname became independent as the Republic of Suriname. Visit the vibrant capital of Paramaribo, or explore its rainforest by boat, where you will discover exciting communities who still live in authentic villages, such as the Black Marrons, the Bushinengues and the Native Americans.
