Suriname Travel Guide

Take a flight to Suriname for a country swathed in tropical rainforest. Dutch colonial architecture dominates the capital city of Paramaribo. Travel to Suriname to snap colonial-era buildings like the Presidential Palace. Old plantation houses are scattered around Commewijne but book a Kumalu river tour to see indigenous tribes. For wildlife lovers, flights to Suriname mean trekking in the vast Central Suriname Nature Reserve, or watching rare turtles at Galibi Nature Reserve in the northeast. Athletic visitors book flights to Suriname to climb Mount Kasikasima. On a Suriname city break to Paramaribo, take a boat to the 17th-century Jewish settlement in Jodensavanna.

After a flight to Suriname, sample the country's culinary mix with Dutch/Indonesian-influenced rijsttafel (rice with several little meat and vegetable dishes), bakkeljauw (salt fish) and Indian roti (flat bread with curry). Take home wooden carvings and paintings by the Amerindians. KLM and partners have frequent flights to Suriname. Book a Suriname ticket to see the traditional costumes at the Avond Vierdaagse carnival after Easter, and music and street parties at December's Surifesta.
