Highlights
During the tour we will drive through the districts Saramacca and Coronie with our end stop in Nickerie. The first stop we will make is in Groningen, Saramacca where the locals live from livestock farming and growing fruits and vegetables.
Next stop is Coronie, where the locals used to earn their living by growing coconuts. Nowadays, a small group still remains in this district because life became difficult and less people where interested in processing coconuts. Most of them came to Paramaribo for a better future.
From the coconut culture we end up at the rice culture in Nickerie. The capital of Nickerie is Nieuw Nickerie and has about 30.000 inhabitants, making it the second largest city in Suriname. The Bigipan Nature Reserve is located in Nickerie and is the perfect place for bird and nature lovers. The nature reserve is known as a breeding ground for many bird species, including the Red Ibis.
