Boni Trail – Historical Interactive Forest Walk (Suriname)

Price range: $2.93 through $5.85

Description

The Boni Trail is an educational and interactive walk that takes you through the poignant history of Suriname’s slavery past. The trail honors Boni, the heroic freedom fighter from the 18th century, and brings his story to life in the middle of the jungle of Plantation Frederiksdorp.

During this immersive experience, you’ll symbolically sail from Fort Elmina through “The Door of No Return,” before experiencing the reality of slavery through interactive components. You are “chained” and “burned,” walk past an exhibition of paintings, huts and antique objects, and Boni regularly pops up along the way.

The walk takes you through the forest and takes you to a time of brutal plantation owners, fierce resistance and forgotten heroes. The Boni Trail does not show the past from the perspective of victimhood, but from strength, fighting spirit and resistance.
