Suriname

Dutch heritage, Maroon and Hindu communities, and one of the largest stretches of untouched Amazon rainforest define Suriname. Atlas Lume suggests reading Suriname through its landscapes, neighbourhoods, transport and living culture, with the context needed to plan with judgement rather than collect places.

Paramaribo works as a practical reference point, but every route should adapt to distances and season. The main language is Dutch, the currency is Dólar surinamés and the generally recommended time to go is August to November.
