Located in northern South America, Suriname is a country that is surrounded by Brazil, Guyana, and French Guiana. The smallest independent country on the continent, Suriname has a population of fewer than half a million people. The capital city of this country is Paramaribo, and the official language spoken here is Dutch, although English is also widely spoken.

This destination enjoys diverse landscapes, with coastal areas and the majority of the population in the north, and the savannah and tropical rainforests in the south. Suriname enjoys a rich and varied history, and was once a Dutch colony, hence the official language. As expected Suriname has a tropical and humid climate, but this is broken somewhat by the cooling north-easterly winds.
