About Atela Tours
Authentic cultural journeys in Suriname
Atela Tours is specialized in tours to the living areas of Suriname’s six Marron tribes and Indigenous communities — where you don’t just visit, but truly experience local life.
What we stand for
- Respect: We travel with respect for communities, traditions, and nature.
- Connection: Real cultural exchange — learning, sharing, and living together.
- Quality: Small groups so every guest receives personal guidance.
Our mission
Our mission is to help you truly get to know these special communities in Suriname through authentic experiences.
