Coastal zone and Paramaribo
Paramaribo, capital of Suriname (Dutch Guiana), is a UNESCO World Heritage site and has fine examples of historic Dutch colonial wooden architecture. Other cultural influences include Hindustani, Javanese, Creole, Amerindian and Maroon, all reflected in the wide variety of food. The interior is sparsely populated and largely untouched -visits to some Amerindian reserves are possible.
