Albina
About 3 thousand people.
Albina is a riverside town in eastern Suriname on the Marowijne River, right across from French Guiana. It is a busy gateway between the two countries.
You can take a boat across the wide river or upstream to Maroon and Indigenous villages. It is a lively spot with markets and river life all around.

River crossing
Colorful boats zip across the Marowijne River carrying people and goods. Watching them come and go is great fun.

Villages upriver
Boats travel upstream to villages where Maroon and Indigenous families keep old traditions alive. It is a window into rainforest life.
