Paranam, nestled in the Para District along the Suriname River, was established in 1938 to house a bauxite factory. While it boasts a market and theater, most residents head to Paramaribo for extensive shopping. However, the iRoks Superstore provides a local option. Paranam's allure lies in its rich history and scenic locale, with nearby attractions including Brownsberg Nature Park and Jungle Xperience Suriname.
