Discover Suriname

Suriname, South America's smallest independent nation, is a lush, vibrant hidden gem where pristine Amazonian rainforests meet a rich tapestry of Dutch, Indian, Javanese, African, and Indigenous cultures. The UNESCO-listed capital, Paramaribo, is famous for its unique black-and-white colonial wooden architecture. With about 90% of its land covered in dense jungle, Suriname is an unparalleled destination for ecotourism, offering river adventures, rare biodiversity, and a multi-ethnic culinary scene that is among the most diverse in the world.

Paramaribo

The capital and largest city, known for its historic wooden city center, the Saint Peter and Paul Basilica, and the vibrant Central Market.

Nieuw Nickerie

A bustling border town near Guyana, known for its rice cultivation and the Bigi Pan Nature Reserve nearby.

Safety & Scams

Getting Around

Minibus (wild-buses) are the primary way to get around cities and between towns; small aircraft are used to reach remote jungle airstrips; river canoes (korjaals) are essential for travel along interior rivers; car rentals are available in Paramaribo.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect the diverse religious customs (Hinduism, Islam, Christianity); dress modestly when visiting rural villages; punctuality is often viewed flexibly ('Suriname time'); greetings are warm—a handshake is standard.

Internet & Connectivity

Digital connectivity is good in Paramaribo and coastal areas; 4G is available via Telesur and Digicel; Wi-Fi is common in city hotels and cafes but non-existent in deep jungle lodges.
