map of Suriname
Suriname or Surinam, officially known as the Republic of Suriname (Dutch: Republiek Suriname [reːpyˌblik ˌsyːriˈnaːmə]), is a country on the northeastern Atlantic coast of South America. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north, French Guiana to the east, Guyana to the west, and Brazil to the south. At just under 165,000 square kilometers (64,000 square miles), it is the smallest sovereign state in South America. It has a population of approximately 575,990, most of whom live on the country's north coast, in and around its capital and largest city, Paramaribo.
Situated slightly north of the equator, Suriname is a tropical country dominated by rainforests. Its extensive tree cover is vital to the country's efforts to mitigate climate change and maintain carbon negativity. A developing country with a relatively high level of human development, Suriname's economy is heavily dependent on its abundant natural resources, namely bauxite, gold, petroleum and agricultural products.
Suriname was inhabited as early as the fourth millennium BC by various indigenous peoples, including the Arawaks, Caribs, and Wayana. Europeans arrived in the 16th century, with the Dutch establishing control over much of the country's current territory by the late 17th century. During the Dutch colonial period, Suriname was a lucrative source of sugar, its plantation economy driven by African slave labor and, after abolition of slavery in 1863, indentured servants from Asia. In 1954, Suriname became one of the constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. On 25 November 1975, it left the Kingdom to become an independent state, but continues to maintain close economic, diplomatic, and cultural ties with it.
Suriname is considered a culturally Caribbean country, and is a member of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). It is the only sovereign nation outside of Europe where Dutch is the official and prevailing language of government, business, media, and education. According to research by the Dutch Language Union, Dutch is the native language of 60% of Surinamese. Sranan Tongo, an English-based creole language, is a widely used lingua franca. Suriname is the smallest independent country in South America. Situated on the Guiana Shield, it lies mostly between latitudes 1° and 6°N, and longitudes 54° and 58°W. The country can be divided into two main geographic regions. The northern, lowland coastal area (roughly above the line Albina-Paranam-Wageningen) has been cultivated, and most of the population lives here. The southern part consists of tropical rainforest and sparsely inhabited savanna along the border with Brazil, covering about 80% of Suriname's land surface.
The two main mountain ranges are the Bakhuys Mountains and the Van Asch Van Wijck Mountains. Julianatop is the highest mountain in the country at 1,286 metres (4,219 ft) above sea level. Other mountains include Tafelberg at 1,026 metres (3,366 ft), Mount Kasikasima at 718 metres (2,356 ft), Goliathberg at 358 metres (1,175 ft) and Voltzberg at 240 metres (790 ft).
Suriname contains six terrestrial ecoregions: Guayanan Highlands moist forests, Guianan moist forests, Paramaribo swamp forests, Tepuis, Guianan savanna, and Guianan mangroves. Its forest cover is 90.2%, the highest of any nation in the world. The country had a 2019 Forest Landscape Integrity Index mean score of 9.39/10, ranking it fifth globally out of 172 countries.
Disputed areas shown on the map of Suriname (left and right, gray areas)
Suriname is situated between French Guiana to the east and Guyana to the west. The southern border is shared with Brazil and the northern border is the Atlantic coast. The southernmost borders with French Guiana and Guyana are disputed by these countries along the Marowijne and Corantijn rivers, respectively, while a part of the disputed maritime boundary with Guyana was arbitrated by the Permanent Court of Arbitration convened under the rules set out in Annex VII of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on 20 September 200 mapa de Suriname

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE SHIRTS & MERCH:
Back in July of 2019, I spent 11 amazing days traveling around the diverse South American country of Suriname. These are the top 10 places you must visit in Suriname!
1. Paramaribo
Suriname’s capital and largest city. It’s a cosmopolitan melting pot where you can find a rich, colonial past and cuisines that range from Chinese to African to Indonesian to Indian to Dutch. You can also find accommodations for every budget!
2. Tamanredjo
A small town between Paramaribo and Albina. Most of its people are Javanese, and you can find incredible Indonesian chicken, fried banana, rice, and beans, at Warung Lenny’s restaurant in town.
3. Galibi
A small village located at the meeting place of the Maroni River and the Atlantic Ocean. There, you can find lots of outstanding seafood and, between February and June, you can find nesting sea turtles!
4. Brownsweg/Ston Eiland
A town about 80 miles south of Paramaribo, near Brownsberg Nature Park and the Brokopondo Reservoir. The reservoir and surrounding forest offers jungle treks, Howler Monkey Island, and fishing for piranha, and you can find Surinamese barbecue in town!
5. Atjoni
A tiny port village that provides transportation to villages along the Upper Surinamese river. Here, you can grab some Indonesian-inspired food at the riverside restaurant and take a boat ride to Isadou Island.
6. Isadou Island
A small river island in the Upper Suriname River that is home to the Isadou Resort. You can also enjoy delicious jungle food, take treks in the forest, take a dip in the river, search for caiman at night, and visit nearby Jaw Jaw village!
7. Browns-Mountain
A 500-meter-tall mountain in Brownsberg Nature Reserve near Brokopondo Reservoir. From its summit, you can enjoy views of the reservoir and hike to two different jungle waterfalls.
8. Palumeu
A tiny village along the Tapanahony River deep in Suriname’s interior. Take a hike through the jungle to Poti Hill, explore the primary and secondary forests, go fishing in the river rapids, and visit the village!
9. Lelydorp
A mostly Javanese village along the main road leading south from Paramaribo. It’s a great place to find unique handicrafts and Indonesian-inspired street food like lumpia, satay, chicken sausage, and boiled vegetables with spicy peanut sauce!
10. Johanna-Margaretha
An area east of Paramaribo near the meeting place of the Suriname and Commewijne Rivers. Watch the pink-bellied dolphins at sunset and have an Indian dinner at the Johanna en Margaretha plantation before heading out into the swamp to look for caimans at night!
And there you have it! Those are the top 10 places you must visit in Suriname. This country is so unbelievably diverse in terms of culture and food, and is also a gorgeous country that is largely untouched and unknown to most. You will love it!

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.

Flying at Leonsberg, Suriname
Many tour operators sail out from here for a day trip to spot dolphins, go fishing trips or plantation trips. If you want to visit the open-air museum of New Amsterdam or Mariënburg, you will also depart by boat from Leonsberg. But Leonsberg is also known for the delicious warungs, which have a beautiful view of the Suriname River.

MAPA DE PARAMARIBO [ SURINAME ]
saludos mis amigos. este es un mapa de Paramaribo, Surinam. Paramaribo es la capital y ciudad más grande de Surinam, ubicada a orillas del río Surinam en el distrito de Paramaribo. Paramaribo tiene una población de aproximadamente 241.000 personas (censo de 2012), casi la mitad de la población de Surinam. El centro histórico de la ciudad de Paramaribo también es agradable. Perdóneme. por favor comenta si amas Paramaribo. continuo.
La ciudad lleva el nombre de la tribu Paramaribo que vive en la desembocadura del río Surinam; el nombre proviene del tupí-guaraní para río grande + maribo habitantes.
El nombre Paramaribo es probablemente una corrupción del nombre de un pueblo indio, escrito Parmurbo en las primeras fuentes holandesas. Esta fue la ubicación del primer asentamiento holandés, un puesto comercial establecido por Nicolaes Baliestel y Dirck Claeszoon van Sanen en 1613. Los comerciantes ingleses y franceses también intentaron establecer asentamientos en Surinam, incluido un puesto francés establecido en 1644 cerca de la actual Paramaribo.
Todos los asentamientos anteriores fueron abandonados algún tiempo antes de la llegada de los colonos ingleses en 1650 para fundar Surinam. Fueron enviados por el gobernador inglés de Barbados, Lord Francis Willoughby, quinto barón Willoughby de Parham, y establecieron una ciudad en el sitio de Paramaribo (aunque probablemente al sur del centro de la ciudad actual). La ciudad estaba protegida por un fuerte, llamado Fort Willoughby. En 1662, el rey Carlos II concedió al gobernador Willoughby el asentamiento y las tierras circundantes (que se extienden hasta el interior de Surinam). Alrededor de 1665, el pueblo de Paramaribo se expandió y rápidamente superó al asentamiento anterior de Torarica.
En 1667, durante la Segunda Guerra Anglo-Holandesa, Paramaribo fue conquistada por un escuadrón de barcos al mando de Abraham Crijnssen. El Tratado de Breda en 1667 confirmó a Paramaribo como la principal ciudad de la ahora colonia holandesa de Surinam. El fuerte que protegía Paramaribo pasó a llamarse Fuerte Zeelandia en honor a la provincia holandesa que había financiado la flota de Crijnssen. (La ciudad también pasó a llamarse New Middelburg, pero el nombre no se hizo popular entre los habitantes). Eso es todo por ahora. Gracias por su atención.

From Russia With Love [ SURINAME ]
KAART VAN PARAMARIBO [ SURINAME ]
groeten mijn vrienden. dit is een kaart van Paramaribo, Suriname. Paramaribo is de hoofdstad en grootste stad van Suriname, gelegen aan de oevers van de Suriname rivier in het Paramaribo District. Paramaribo heeft een bevolking van ongeveer 241.000 mensen (volkstelling 2012), bijna de helft van de bevolking van Suriname. Ook de historische binnenstad van Paramaribo is leuk. Neem me niet kwalijk. reageer alsjeblieft als je van Paramaribo houdt. doorgaan.
De stad is genoemd naar de Paramaribo-stam die aan de monding van de Surinamerivier woont; de naam komt van Tupi-Guarani para grote rivier + maribo inwoners.
De naam Paramaribo is waarschijnlijk een verbastering van de naam van een Indiaans dorp, in de vroegste Nederlandse bronnen gespeld als Parmurbo. Dit was de locatie van de eerste Nederlandse nederzetting, een handelspost opgericht door Nicolaes Baliestel en Dirck Claeszoon van Sanen in 1613. Engelse en Franse handelaren probeerden ook nederzettingen te stichten in Suriname, waaronder een Franse post die in 1644 werd opgericht nabij het huidige Paramaribo.
Alle eerdere nederzettingen werden enige tijd voor de komst van Engelse kolonisten in 1650 verlaten om Suriname te stichten. Ze werden gestuurd door de Engelse gouverneur van Barbados, Lord Francis Willoughby, 5de Baron Willoughby van Parham, en stichtten een stad op de plaats van Paramaribo (hoewel waarschijnlijk ten zuiden van het huidige stadscentrum). De stad werd beschermd door een fort, Fort Willoughby genaamd. In 1662 kreeg gouverneur Willoughby de nederzetting en de omliggende gronden (die zich uitstrekten tot in het binnenland van Suriname) door koning Karel II. Rond 1665 werd het dorp Paramaribo uitgebreid en overtrof het al snel de vroegere nederzetting Torarica.
In 1667, tijdens de Tweede Engelse Oorlog, werd Paramaribo veroverd door een squadron schepen onder Abraham Crijnssen. Het Verdrag van Breda in 1667 bevestigde Paramaribo als de belangrijkste stad van de nu Nederlandse kolonie Suriname. Het fort ter bescherming van Paramaribo werd omgedoopt tot Fort Zeelandia ter ere van de Nederlandse provincie die de vloot van Crijnssen had gefinancierd. (De stad werd ook omgedoopt tot Nieuw Middelburg maar de naam sloeg niet aan bij de inwoners). dat is alles voor nu. bedankt voor het luisteren. schrijf je in voor de beste kaarten en voor de liefde van Paramaribo. tot ziens. #kaarts #maps #mapschool #mapas #paramaribo
