About us

A World in One Country!
 

Suriname is a newly discovered tourist destination. Traveling from the vibrant city of Paramaribo into the jungle, a traveler will see dramatic changes in a short time period.

​

Tours with flair was founded in 2007 by Marina da Costa, a descendent of one of the earliest settler, Baruch da Costa (1654), cantor at Joden Savanne. Six generations da Costa's have lived and are buried in this special place in the jungle of Suriname.

The Jodensavanne Archeological Site was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List on September 19 2023 and consists of two historically linked sites, namely the Cassipora Creek Cemetery and the Jodensavanne Settlement. Its Outstanding Universal Value stands out in comparison to other diasporic Jewish sites in the Atlantic World.
