Local Excursions
1 Day
Location
District Commewijne is one of the most ancient cultural area in Suriname and is situated right across the capital city Paramaribo, along the Suriname river. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean in the north, district Marowijne in the east, district Para in the south and the Suriname River in the west.
Itinerary:
Across the J.A. Wijdenbosch Bridge, we start our journey by car/bus into district Commewijne. This tour takes us along the former colonial plantations of which most are deserted and no longer active. A visit to the open-air museum at New Amsterdam will be our first stop. The old sugar plantation at Mariënburg will give you a proper idea of the manner in which the sugar plantation industry developed during those days. We leave the car/bus at Mariënburg and cross over by boat to plantation Fredriksdorp where the renovation project of the plantation was finalized some time ago. A walk on a special path to plantation John and Margrita marks the end of our visit to this old plantation and we are ready for the return crossover to Mariënburg. On our way back to Paramaribo, we pass along the old plantations Ellen, Leliendaal and Alkmaar where we can still see some old coffee trees.
Included in the tour:
Transportation by car/bus and boat, lunch, fruit, drinks (non-alcoholic), Dutch/ English speaking tour guide. Special dietary requests will be considered.
Departure: 09h.00 from Hotel Residence Inn or pick up from one of the large hotels in Paramaribo.
Return: Same day at 16h.00. Transfer to your hotel.
What to bring along:
* walking shows/flip-flops
* suntan lotion
* a hat or cap
* photo and/or video camera
* mosquito repellent
* small back-pack to carry for ex. a water bottle during the tour
* pocket money (Surinamese currency) for purchase of souvenirs (if available).
