Suriname: The Place of Anybody's Dreams!
Suriname, formally called the Republic of Suriname or Surinam, is located in northern South America, between Guyana to the west and French Guiana to the east. Formerly, it was called Dutch Guiana and Netherlands Guiana. The main language in this country is Dutch. It borders the Atlantic coast to the north and Brazil to the south. In general, Suriname, the smallest nation in the entire South America is divided into two main regions. Most of the people live in the first region, which refers to the northern, lowland coastal area since it has been very cultivated. Secondly, the southern part is made up of not very inhabited savanna and tropical rainforest. It is estimated that it covers around 80 percent of the land surface of this country. The Central Suriname Nature Reserve has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the great biodiversity comprised in this area. Likewise, Suriname relies on great natural parks, including Galibi National Reserve, Wia Wia NR and Coppename Manding National Park, among many others. Around twelve percent of the total land corresponds to national parks.
If you are looking for an extremely diverse country that provides you not only with fascinating natural resources, but also with history, religion diversity and culture, Suriname is the most appropriate place for you to take a trip. It is important for you to know that religion variety is part of the population of Suriname because of the ethnic combination that the country underwent. Hinduism and Islamism are common in this country.
