Suriname is a small country on the north-eastern coast of South America. It's defined by vast swaths of tropical rainforest, Dutch colonial architecture and a melting-pot culture. Suriname is known for its Dutch sugar plantations. It is rich in natural resources such as bauxite, timber, gold and oil.
