Unforgettable
Hi.
Or as we say in Commewijne “fawaka”.
We’re so happy to invite you into our beautiful region: a world undiscovered, far beyond the Suriname well known.
Welcome to Commewijne. A place preserved in time, with museums to tell of an intriguing story, forest and wetlands that are peaceful yet daring, and people that will make you feel like coming home. A place you will have to venture into on your own, by foot, by bike, by boat.

Adventuresome
Mysterious
There may seem a curious contradiction in our personality. We are edgy, but soft spoken. Mysterious yet innocent. Adventuresome while possessing an old soul.
