DESTINATION SURINAME
(Click to view map)  

While Suriname's capital holds its fair share of Dutch colonial architecture, it's the well-ordered system of nature parks and reserves that keeps the visitors coming. Suriname is an unusual cultural enclave with an extraordinary ethnic variety deriving from Dutch colonization, the early importation of African slaves and, later, indentured laborers from India and Indonesia.
