A five-day route that works around what is actually open: the UNESCO inner city on foot, the Commewijne plantations by boat, Jodensavanne upriver, and one night at Brownsberg, Galibi in season or Fredberg. With published prices and the opening hours that decide the order.

Each important fact (an address, opening hours, a phone number) is stored with the source it came from and the date it was read. Place pages show both. Where we have no source, the field is simply missing: there are no filler descriptions, no invented ratings and no reviews we did not collect.
