Give your travellers more than a photo stop. In two hours, they'll discover Suriname through its scents, flavours and stories, and create their own souvenir to carry home.

Two hours in Suriname. One souvenir they made themselves.

Here's the route your travellers take, from the garden gate to a candle with their own initial.

★★★★★

“I was looking for an activity that would give my retreat guests a real connection to Suriname. This was it. Through the scents, guests learn about the forests, fruits and food of Suriname, and they put a Surinamese word they learned or the name of a place they visited on their label. The intention setting moment fitted our retreat perfectly: calm, personal and quite emotional for some. It's now a fixed part of our programme.”
