Our adventurous journey from Paramaribo to Albina starts at 7:30 am, a three-hour drive.

This historic complex is now an intriguing museum that we explore on a guided tour from 11am to 12pm. After the tour, we stroll past local shops and the market, where various communities sell their wares, before enjoying a tasty French lunch.
