PARAMARIBO (ORG/PBM)

Paramaribo, the vibrant capital city of Suriname, rests gracefully along the western banks of the tropical Suriname River near the Atlantic coast. Celebrated for its unique multicultural fusion and historic Dutch colonial architecture, this dynamic UNESCO World Heritage site seamlessly blends South American energy with Caribbean charm. Visitors can admire the soaring, wooden Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral, explore the 17th-century brick fortress of Fort Zeelandia, stroll through the shady Palmentuin palm garden, and sample diverse Creole, Javanese, and Hindustani street food along the lively Waterkant riverfront. Paramaribo offers travelers an authentic, fascinating, and colorful Guianan adventure.
