Suriname

A Dutch colonial capital with a wooden old town that feels imported wholesale from the Netherlands, a rainforest interior barely touched by tourism, and a cultural mix of Javanese, Indian, African and Indigenous communities found nowhere else in South America.
The best time to visit Suriname is Feb–Apr, Aug–Nov, when typical daytime highs reach about 33°C (92°F).
