Paramaribo is the capital of Suriname and the residents of this district are called Paramariboërs. One place to see in Paramaibo is the restored Fort Zeelandia which is one of the oldest buildings still standing. With historical artifacts from the 1600s, this is a historic site where you will learn about the city’s rich and colorful history, as the fort was once a prison, a trading area and a museum.

The Suriname and Commewijne Rivers are home to some very cute dolphins and in fact they are one of the smallest dolphin species in the world. Taking a boat tour down the Commewijne River, you will see the glory of old plantation properties divided by canals and coffee, cacao and sugar cane processing plants.
