Destination Suriname

Unspoiled and welcoming, Suriname is a land of enormous cultural diversity and one of the few places in the world where the tropical rain forest is still untouched. Get to know the authentic cultures that survive in the interior. Speaking their own languages, the natives are descendants of five lines, each with its own traditions and tongue.

The Surinamese government worked together with Conservation International to create the Central Suriname Nature Reserve, 1.6 million hectares of prime rainforest in Boven Coppename, west-central Suriname. This reserve forms a gateway to the three existing protected areas, Raleighvallen, Tafelberg and Eilerts de Haan Gebergte.

METS operates tours both here and in the neighboring Guyana and French Guiana. Accommodation includes traditional-style wooden houses.

For more active vacationers  METS can organize tours of the nature reserves for birdwatchers and to see the turtles which lay their eggs on the beach.

The newest tours take in the wonderful savannah areas near the airport at Zanderij, staying in comfortable bungalows at Colakreek recreation park, with flights over Paramaribo and around the coastal area.

Also popular are trips to Palumeu Jungle Lodge and Awarradam Jungle Lodge and Spa, and the Kasikasima and Gran Rio Jungle Expeditions.
