Crafts to discover Suriname

The native village of Redi Doti is a pleasant stopover where you can familiarize yourself with the Kali'na ethnic group and their handicrafts, particularly pottery. Redi Doti means "red earth", named after its ancient location, which you can also visit. The village is relatively young, with around 100 inhabitants. Their main source of income is hunting and fishing, while the women weave dresses and make cassava bread. From here, you can visit the village of Blakawatra and the Cassipora cemetery.

Parabello is the ideal place for a swim and for buying local handicrafts: the native pottery is well worth a visit. There's also a carbet by the river, for protection from the rain or a quiet picnic. It's also possible to go ziplining in the forest, by booking through an agency for example. Not far from Parabello, you can also take a guided tour of the Paraflor exotic garden. This botanical garden and nursery is famous for its rare and beautiful tropical flowers.
