Para District Nature and Culture Day Tour from Paramaribo

The Para Tour takes you through the beautiful district of Para, located south of Paramaribo. This area is known for its mining industry and recreational spots, with a varied landscape of savannas, forests, creeks, and rivers. Many Surinamese visit Para to relax, including at the well-known Colakreek, named after its cola-colored water caused by fallen leaves. The region is mainly inhabited by Maroon communities, and during the tour you will pass several villages. Remnants of the past are still visible, such as former plantations with Biblical names and parts of the historic railway from the gold rush era. The tour starts in the morning towards Reeberg, where you will visit Suriname Bird Paradise. This is followed by a stop at a woodcarving workshop, where local Maroons create beautiful handmade items. Next, you can relax and swim at Colakreek. The tour continues to Domburg for a short stop before returning to Paramaribo.
