Overview
The Commewijne district is one of the oldest plantation areas in Suriname.
As early as the second half of the 17th century, plantations were established on the Upper Commewijne and Cottica rivers, where mainly sugarcane, coffee, and cocoa were cultivated.
During this tour, we drive from Paramaribo across the Jules Wijdenbosch Bridge. The first stop is at Peperpot, a former coffee and cocoa plantation where you will take a walk along the Peperpot Trail. After this, we continue our journey to the Open Air Museum in Nieuw-Amsterdam and the former sugarcane plantation Mariënburg.
Between activities, we stop for a delicious lunch and drive past the old plantations Ellen and Leliëndaal. The guide tells you a lot about the special history of the plantations and the remains that are sometimes hidden in the forest.
