Is This Africa Or South America!? Suriname's Maroons (#109)
Suriname is a very interesting country. Hundreds of years ago, escaped slaves hid in the Amazon rainforest, forming new tribes out of people that came from various parts of Africa. Today, these villages still speak African languages and maintain some of the traditions from the continent. These are the Maroon villages, and there's nothing like them anywhere else. You could say it's the most African place outside of Africa.
Feeling a bit nostalgic for Africa after my travels in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Nigeria, I was happy to visit the place.

Discovering the Hidden Guianas
On the top shoulder of South America are three countries: Suriname, Guyana and French Guiana. All three countries are located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in northeast South America, and all are part of the Guiana Shield, a vast and pristine rainforest. However, the three countries have distinct cultural heritages, having been colonized by three different European nations. Join our webinar to learn more as Andrea and Salvador de Caires from Wilderness Explorers take you on an exploration of The Three Guianas, and what assorted wonders await visitors there!

Guyana Travel
Guyana officially the Co-operative Republic of Guyana,[9] is a sovereign state on the northern mainland of South America. It is, however, included in the Caribbean Region due to its strong cultural, historical, and political ties with the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). Guyana is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north, Brazil to the south and southwest, Suriname to the east and Venezuela to the west. With 215,000 square kilometres (83,000 sq mi), Guyana is the fourth-smallest country on mainland South America after Uruguay, Suriname and French Guiana.
The region known as the Guianas consists of the large shield landmass north of the Amazon River and east of the Orinoco River known as the land of many waters. Originally inhabited by several indigenous groups, Guyana was settled by the Dutch before coming under British control in the late 18th century. It was governed as the plantation economy of British Guiana until independence in 1966, and officially became a republic within the Commonwealth of Nations in 1970. The legacy of British rule is reflected in the country's diverse population, which includes Indian, African, Amerindian, and multiracial groups.
Guyana also has the distinction of being the only South American nation in which English is the official language. The majority of the population, however, speak Guyanese Creole, an English-based creole language with slight Dutch, Arawakan and Caribbean influences. In addition to being part of the Anglophone Caribbean, Guyana is one of the few Caribbean countries that is not an island in the West Indies. CARICOM, of which Guyana is a member, is headquartered in Guyana's capital and largest city, Georgetown. In 2008, the country joined the Union of South American Nations as a founding member.
Approximately three quarters of the west of the country are claimed by Venezuela, specifically 159,542 square kilometres, accounting for 74.21% of the territory, zone called by this as Guyana Essequiba. Its other neighbour, Suriname, claims for itself a part of the eastern territory southeast of the country specifically about 15,600 square kilometres called Tigri Area which currently accounts for 7.26% of the country.

At just under 165,000 square kilometers (64,000 square miles), it is the smallest sovereign state in South America. Suriname has a population of approximately 575,990, most of whom live on the country's north coast, in and around the capital and largest city, Paramaribo
Archaeological excavations indicate that around 10,000 BC (possibly earlier) the first Paleo-Americans settled in the Sipaliwinisavanne. These were nomadic hunter-gatherers. The archaeological material (e.g. hand axe, chopper, stone arrowhead, etc.) corresponds to what is called the Old Stone Age or the Paleolithic in Europe. Around 3000 BC pottery producing farming communities settled near the lower Corantijn, where they resided until about 500 BC. In Suriname there is archaeological evidence that these communities settled on the Kauri Creek and the Maratakka. These were (semi-)sedentary farmers, and the archaeological material (pottery and agriculture) corresponds to what is called the New Stone Age or the Neolithic in Europe. The invasion of Suriname by the Europeans seriously disrupted the indigenous socio-political structures, and although the languages and cultures of the various Karaib and Arawak-speaking peoples are in danger of extinction, they are still kept alive by the current indigenous population.

Suriname became independent on November 25, 1975. The Governor of Suriname Ferrier, the Dutch Prime Minister Den Uyl and Queen Juliana signed the treaty. Since then, the official name has been Republic of Suriname (see Separation Agreement). Ferrier became the first president of the new South American state. Five years later, a coup led by Petty Officer Desi Bouterse took place, but this did not put an end to the changing of the guard in the office of the presidency. In the series of past presidents, two names stand out: the just mentioned Bouterse, who twice for a few days, and Venetian who exercised the highest civil authority three times for a total of fifteen years, starting in 1991. Venetian, a former minister of education, was after democratic elections in 2010 relieved by Bouterse. After losing in the elections, Bouterse was succeeded as president in 2020 by Chan Santokhi.
