Geography:

"Suriname is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, the Marowijne River, French Guiana and Brazil. In the northern part of the country are coastal lowlands covered with mangrove swamps. Further inland runs a narrow strip of savannah land. To the south the land becomes hilly and then mountainous, covered with dense tropical forest, and cut by numerous rivers and streams.Paramaribo: The 17th-century capital is graced with attractive Dutch, French, Spanish and British colonial architecture. The nearby restored Fort Zeelandia houses the Suriname Museum. There are a number of nature reserves, including the Raleighvallen/Voltzberg Nature Park and Brownsberg Nature Park. Some offer accommodation in lodges. "
