The definitive travel guide to Suriname – the only dedicated English-language guidebook to this extraordinary South American destination, fully updated for independent travellers.
Suriname is one of the world’s least-visited and yet most rewarding countries. Its vast Amazon rainforest covers nearly the entire interior, accessible only by river or small aircraft. Its Caribbean coastline is one of the planet’s great turtle-watching destinations. Its capital, Paramaribo, holds a UNESCO-listed colonial city centre unlike anywhere else in South America – a vivid mix of Dutch heritage, Creole culture and Hindu temples side by side.
This fully updated Bradt guide is the most comprehensive resource available for visiting Suriname, covering everything from cities to remote rainforest expeditions, wildlife safaris and stays in jungle lodges along the Upper Suriname river – a region covered in-depth here for the first time in any guidebook.
What’s inside:
