Suriname is a strange and wonderful place.

With over 90% of the country covered in steaming tropical rainforest and Dutch architecture lining the streets of the capital city, Suriname is a country of exotic contrasts and wild landscapes.

Some of its most magnificent natural attractions include the Brownsberg Nature Park, Brokopondo Reservoir, Galibi Coppename Nature Reserve, Central Suriname Nature Reserve, and Garden of Palms.

These vast tracts of tangle jungle are home to gushing waterfalls, rugged mountains, towering equa-torial plants, and tropical animal life. Whether you are exploring the forest trails on foot or paddling down the river in a kayak, these untamed landscapes offer a chance to experience the wild soul of South America.

For a taste of the unique potpourri of culture that Suriname is famous for, the Arya Dewaker Hindu Temple in Paramaribo (the capital city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site) is an architectural marvel and important Hindu site.

A number of private operators offer tours that will take you into the heart of the jungle where native villages live harmoniously with nature.

Suriname is considered a relatively safe destination. However, you should still use common sense and take the usual precautions, as you would in any other foreign country. Comprehensive travel insurance to cover medical expenses and theft is recommended.

Keep valuables in a safe place and maintain caution in crowded areas, as pick-pocketing and theft do happen. Avoid wandering around alone at night (especially through the Garden of Palms in Paramaribo) and steer clear of isolated areas.

Vaccination against yellow fever is required. Precautions should be taken to avoid mosquito bites, as Zika virus, chikungunya, dengue fever, and malaria are a risk in Suriname. Other recommended vaccinations include: hepatitis A & B, typhoid, rabies, MMR, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, meningitis, varicella, polio and influenza. Stick to bottled water.
