12/2/2013 – In this second part of Alina l'Ami's report on Suriname, she takes readers on a visual trip through this micronation with astonishing religious diversity and acceptance. The capital itself has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its innumerous colonial buildings that remain a throwback to its origins. You don't want to miss this lovely pictorial.
