Approximately 50 kilometers south of Paramaribo, on the right bank of the Suriname River, is Jodensavanne, a historic Jewish settlement. This site was named after Jews who escaped the Inquisition around 1650 and established themselves in this savanna region. The location was advantageous, featuring a hill with views of plantations and access to two water sources, one reputed for its medicinal properties.

For many years, Jodensavanne served as the heart of the Jewish community in Suriname. The settlers managed plantations where crops like sugarcane were grown, often named after Biblical locations such as Hebron and Bersaba. In 1832, a significant fire devastated much of the settlement, prompting the population to relocate to Paramaribo.

Today, visitors can still see the ruins of the oldest Jewish synagogue in the Americas and the cemetery. During the tour, a guide narrates the rich history of this once-flourishing community, followed by a traditional Surinamese lunch before heading back to Paramaribo.
