Boat Tour Bakkie & Museum Alliance – Historical Culture Tour on the Commewijne (Suriname)
$177.84
Description
The museum collection began with excavations in the Warappa Creek, a historic connection between the Commewijne River and the Atlantic Ocean. In the meantime, the collection has grown into one of the most special private collections in Suriname. You will find original letters, maps, documents, books and special artefacts — often not to be seen anywhere else in Suriname. It is not for nothing that this tour is considered one of the best rated day tours in the country.
