Suriname lies in South America, is part of the Amazon, and is often described as one of the world’s best-kept secrets, a treasure nestled in South America. This treasure, bordered by French Guiana, Guyana, Brazil, and the Atlantic Ocean, is a vibrant testament to the richness of the Amazon.
Gaining independence from the Netherlands in 1975, Suriname emerged as the only Dutch-speaking nation in South America. Despite Dutch being the official language, Sranantongo serves as the Lingua Franca, alongside over 20 other languages. And yes the name Soela means – river rapid- in Sranantongo. There you have your first word in Sranantongo, our common language. It’s quite easy to learn!
The Suriname Dollar (SRD) is the nation’s official currency. Nonetheless, the US Dollar and Euro are widely accepted, facilitating both trade and tourism. Credit Cards such as Visa and Mastercard are accepted across the country, ensuring visitors can easily navigate their stay.

This reserve, alongside the historic inner city of Paramaribo, offers a glimpse into the country’s colonial past.
