@@allthingsshanti918 if you get a chance, take a tour to the Brownsberg nature preserve. It's cheap, 80$USD, about two and a half hours from Paramaribo. They give you food and drinks, you get to see the lake, and walk to waterfalls. We saw so much of the country on that tour. If you're looking for a place to stay that's cheap, try the overbridge river resort. If you're in Paramaribo check out Zu Zoes restruant and the palm gardens across the street. If you're looking for a place to stay in Paramaribo I suggest the Prins Hendric Suites, it's kind like a bed and breakfast in a 150 year old historic home. Check out the Paramaribo Zoo and definitely the Slaugth Sanctuary.

Awesome Country! Lived there for a year and a half in the 1980s. Back when it was real. No cell phones, just really great people to talk to. Going into the bush was quite the experience. The Cayman didn’t worry me, the piranha no problem, most of the snakes were evadable but intimidating, the monkeys were butt heads. The big cats were worrisome, but two things drove me crazy down there. The big assed spiders, and I don’t know what the hell it was but while in a rubber duck/raft, I saw something roll in the water that had to be 10 to 15 feet long because it just kept rolling right next to us and as big around as my thigh. We were deep in the jungle and the water is like tea so you can’t see down into it or you’d probably piss yourself. Anyway, I never found out what that thing was, and I’m good with that. I’ve rambled enough, Suriname is great!
