Paramaribo
Although small in size, Paramaribo is probably the place in South America with the most exotic mix of cultures, apparent both in people you meet and buildings in the streets.

Leatherback turtles
When a big dark shadow moved ashore and climbed up the beach, we became very emotional and did not take our eyes off this huge leatherback turtle until it had laid all its eggs.

Fort Zeelandia
Once a fortress defending Paramaribo, then a prison, museum and military installation, Fort Zeelandia now is a museum again where you can get a good idea of the history of this former colony.

Galibi
A quiet town on the banks of the Marowijne river, Galibi is the starting point for seeing turtles laying their eggs, but also offers a good opportunity to see local village life among the Indians.

Paramaribo Architecture
Paramaribo is one of those underrated destinations to visit - one of the most interesting attractions are the old wooden buildings in the city centre, where you can also find some unexpected modern architecture.
