Seeing and experiencing Suriname’s amazing diversity will certainly be believing. For now, though, we can look to the country’s flag as a symbol for all the great reasons we have to visit this unique destination.

From the photo up top you can see that the flag is comprised of five stripes, or bands, with a gold star in the middle.  The red stands for love and progress, while the green signifies hope and fertility.
