Good to know in Suriname

• Arrival

  Paperwork before you fly

  Sort Suriname's entry paperwork online before you travel: depending on your passport, that's an entry fee voucher, tourist card or e-visa from the official e-visa portal, and airlines can ask for proof at check-in. Everyone also completes the Immigration and Customs Form, up to three days before arriving and before leaving.

• Outdoors

  Into the rainforest

  More than 85% of Suriname is pristine jungle, and UK advice says to use a well-established tour company for trips into the interior. Canada adds that you should never trek alone and that roads are generally poor outside the main centres, so allow extra time for any overland leg.

• Weather

  Two rainy seasons

  Suriname gets two rainy seasons, from May to August and from November to February. Seasonal flooding can then hamper overland travel and disrupt essential services, Canada's travel advice says, so build some slack into road and river plans in those months.
