Off the Beaten Path – Suriname

Pretty much anything outside the capital is going to be off the beaten Path, but here are a few suggestions for you.

Domburg and Laarwijk
Surrounded by lush rainforest and so quiet that you hear and see the beautiful birds and in the afternoon the howler monkeys. Domburg has miles and miles of walking routes along and through the rainforest. 

But don't just go for the surrounding wildlife. Surinamians know better than foreigners that the delicious Javan and Hindustan snacks from the local warungs in and around the marketplace are worth a day trip. Paramaribo people often spend a Sunday enjoying the cool breeze on the shore of the Suriname River, at the quaint Domburg market place, shaded by the huge old mahogany trees. Fruit stands, snacks, an internet point and Cheng's friendly food shop are part of the marketplace. Cheng will be open every day and welcome you with a smile and the latest news or that the fresh raisin bread has arrived.

Across the river is Laarwijk, just 15 minutes by the regular service of a local korjaal. Laarwijk is the only still inhabited former Dutch plantation. The cozy little harbor, small canals and the blue white locks welcome you to a Hindustan and Javan village, as if you are in old Indonesia. No cars, just gravel and sand paths, a fruit stand, a warung and the small wooden houses hidden between the flower gardens and banana or lychee plantations. And everywhere you turn is the rainforest, with mangrove, mighty kankan trees, different kinds of bacove (banana), sugar cane, mope, awarra, papaya, mango, cashew etc. 

Albina
A small, run-down village on the Marowijne River, the border with French Guiana. With permission from the Carib Indians (and a hired canoe), it is possible to visit the nearby Galibi Nature Reserve, where Ridley, green and leatherback turtles nest in June and July. Albina has no accommodation but it may be possible to find a bed in a private house or sling a hammock in the park.
