Suriname - Philip Briggs - diskuze

This thoroughly updated third edition of Bradt's Suriname remains the most detailed English-language guidebook - and the only standalone guide from a major travel publisher - to this exciting and emerging ecotourism destination. With an unrivalled nine-tenths of the thinly populated country comprising unspoilt rainforest, Suriname has much to offer wildlife enthusiasts, adventurous travellers and anyone who delights in non-mainstream destinations.A true one-off, Suriname is geographically part of South America, but politically looks mainly towards the Caribbean and is inexorably tied, linguistically and historically, to the Netherlands, its former coloniser. Peaceful and stable, the country celebrated the 50th anniversary of its independence in 2025. Its forested interior is swathed by pristine Amazonian rainforest, rich in wildlife - from monkeys to macaws, tapirs to sloths - and accessible only by air or by motorised dugout along the tropical waterways that incise it. On the coast, the capital Paramaribo is a lively, culinarily rewarding, ethnically diverse city whose historic old quarter, lined with Dutch-Creole architectural gems, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nearby beaches offer some of the world's finest turtle-viewing sites, as well as superb aquatic and marine birdwatching, plus several impressive forest reserves.The longer you stay, the deeper you can delve. Explore various sites, including Peperpot Nature Park, along the Commewijne Plantation Loop. Marvel at 350
