Jodensavanne Tour with One Overnight Stay at Overbridge
Located about 50 kilometers south of Paramaribo on the right bank of the Suriname River, Jodensavanna is a former Jewish settlement founded around 1650 by Jews who fled the Inquisition in Europe. Thanks to its strategic location and natural water sources, it became the center of Jewish life in Suriname for many years. The community owned several plantations, where sugarcane and other crops were cultivated. Many plantations were given biblical names, such as Hebron and Bersaba. A devastating fire in 1832 led to the decline of the settlement, and many residents moved to Paramaribo. Today, visitors can still explore the ruins of the oldest Jewish synagogue in the Americas and the historic cemetery. During this tour, we travel via the Afobaka Road to Jodensavanna. After exploring the site and learning about its fascinating history, we continue to Overbridge, where you will spend the night.

Jodensavanne Tour in Paramaribo
About 50 kilometers south of Paramaribo, on the right bank of the Suriname River, lies Jodensavanne, a former Jewish settlement. The site is named after Jews who fled the Inquisition around 1650 and settled in this savanna area. The location was favorable, with a hill overlooking plantations and access to two water sources, one believed to have medicinal qualities. For many years, Jodensavanne was the center of the Jewish community in Suriname. The settlers owned plantations where crops like sugarcane were cultivated, often named after Biblical places such as Hebron and Bersaba. In 1832, a major fire destroyed much of the settlement, after which the population moved to Paramaribo. Today, the ruins of the oldest Jewish synagogue in the Americas and the cemetery can still be seen. During the tour, a guide shares the rich history of this once-thriving community, followed by a traditional Surinamese lunch before returning to Paramaribo.
