Introduction to Albina, Suriname
Albina is the capital of the Marowijne District in northeastern Suriname, located at the mouth of the Maroni River, across the river from the city of Saint-Laurent-des-Maroni in French Guiana. As an important border crossing from Suri to French Guiana, Albina is a hub for trade and people between the two countries. The city's population of about 5,000 is predominantly Creole, Maroon and Amerindian, and is characterized by a multicultural mix.
Geographic and Economic Characteristics
Located in a tropical rainforest climate zone, Albina's economy is based on border trade, small businesses and fishing. Due to its proximity to French Guiana, the euro is widely circulated and French Guyanese goods are common in the local market. The city's infrastructure is relatively simple, the main road is built along the river, and most of the houses are colorful wooden structures, full of Caribbean style. The surrounding rainforest is rich in resources, but the degree of industrialization is low.
Culture and Transportation
Albina's religion and culture are influenced by its Dutch colonial history, with Christian churches coexisting with traditional voodoo beliefs. There is a weekly ferry connection to French Guiana, and overland relies on Suriname's only east-west highway to the capital, Paramaribo (about 3 hours by car). Portuguese and Dutch are the official languages, but Surinamese Tonga and Hindi are also widely spoken.
