Some countries you visit.
Ours, you belong to.

Ninety-three percent rainforest. A dozen cultures around one table. A welcome so warm you’ll forget you ever knocked. Come in, we saved you a seat.

What’s on

Coming up in Suriname.

Find your Suriname

Which one calls you home?

Four ways in. Take one this trip, and let the rest pull you back. Every door opens onto a different Suriname.

A mosque and a synagogue standing side by side on Keizerstraat, Paramaribo
Fa waka?· how are you
One people, many worlds

Pull up a chair. There’s always room.

On Keizerstraat, one of the Caribbean’s largest mosques has stood shoulder to shoulder with one of the oldest synagogues in the Americas for nearly a century. Fence to fence, neighbours to the bone.

Indigenous, Maroon, Creole, Hindustani, Javanese, Chinese and Dutch: seven worlds that share the same streets, the same holidays, and the same dinner table. Here, “stranger” is just a friend who hasn’t eaten yet.
