Powaka

Powaka is an Indian village south of Paramaribo.
It takes almost 1 hour drive and about 20 minutes along the red bumpy road to reach it.
Our fav taxi driver was born there, so we decided to visit it and give him a chance to grab some food to take back to the city from his dad. It is a pretty rural village, very quiet, houses are a bit far the one from the other, the only gathering place is where the church and the school are located.

White Beach

White Beach is an artificial beach created on the Suriname river and it is a very popular destination.
The strip of water where people are allowed to swim is protected with a net, in order to be kept clean and free from the river water animals.
The beach is about half hour drive from Paramaribo, the entrance is 10srn per person and 5 srn for car parking.
The place is well maintened, there are several facilities, cafe', cabins with toilet and showers and along the beach there are several huts with tables and hammocks for restoration and shelter.
