The interior of Suriname is one of the most exotic experiences you could have during your trip in Suriname. Walking trough the jungle the wild noises caress your ear. Monkeys swinging through the top of the trees. Birds sing their most beautiful songs. Hissing snakes that rather hide from sight of intruders.

You forget the worries on your shoulders when the soela (rapids) entrain you to later on immerse in the cold refreshing water of the river. The typical Surinamese hospitality can also be experienced in the interior. The language barrier does not stand in the way of the inland residents to welcome you into their village and even into their home. To earn a extra penny the residents sell artwork made from raw materials.

Believe it. You will not soon forget a trip to the interior and you most likely are willing to repeat is again.

To be well prepared for a trip to the interior, we advice you as follow:

-    Raincoat
-    Comfortable walking shoes and swim sandals
-    Insect repellant (cheaper in Suriname)

-    Small notes of Surinamese dollars for buying souvenirs
-    Waterproof bag for important stuff
