About Paramaribo
Paramaribo's Dutch wooden architecture glows in candied pastels along canals and streets, a Caribbean-colonial fusion where African, Indian, and European cultures interweave. The wooden houses seem transplanted from Amsterdam, yet the heat and jungle atmosphere are thoroughly tropical. Paramaribo is South America's most underrated city.
