Saramacca and Coronie District Tour

About this activity

The journey takes you through the districts of Saramacca and Coronie. The first stop is at Weg naar Zee, where you visit a Hindu temple, an important pilgrimage site, and a nearby crematorium.

In Saramacca, known for livestock farming and the cultivation of rice and vegetables, you explore Groningen, the main town. Here, you will see the smallest square with the highest number of monuments, reflecting Suriname’s rich multicultural history. The route continues to the Coppename River, which you cross before entering Coronie.

Coronie, once thriving on coconut plantations, is now sparsely populated, with villages along the East-West connection. The area is known for its rice fields rich in fish, including the popular kwi-kwi, as well as beekeeping, pure honey, and its gently swaying coconut palms.
