7. Fort Zeelandia
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 583 reviews
Reviewed By Hermes_NL - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Fort Zeelandia was first built by the British and extended by the Dutch as a fortification on a prominent point on the Suriname river. It has mostly been a prison throughout the years, and even the scene of recent history with the political December murders in 1982. Now it is a rather gorgeous small museum about the history of Suriname. Outside is the statue of Queen Wilhelmina, also the monarch of Suriname in her days.
8. Brownsberg Nature Park

Reviewed By RiggingDoctor - Porto, Portugal
My husband and I went twice: once we got lost and couldn’t find the park, and the second time there was a tree in the road and our car couldn’t make it to the top. We walked the long road up and saw very little wildlife. The THIRD time, we went did a day trip with a guide from Orange tours. It was FANTASTIC! They require a group of at least 4 people. We learned about medicinal plants and saw two types of monkeys, frogs, and snakes! I would absolutely recommend going with a guide so that you know what to look for in the beautiful rainforest. It’s not well marked and extremely easy to get lost if you try to go on your own.

Historic and a little bit mysterious place. In the midst of the jungle, near the Suriname river suddenly there is a place with the remains of an old Jewish plantation: the ruin of a synagogue, stone tombs of Jewish people and wooden crosses above the tombs of non-Jewish people. In historical perspective it's the most important place in South America for the Jewish history.
