reisgids Suriname (Bradt)

Prima reisgids voor zelfstandige reizigers. Uitgebreider dan een Lonely Planet of Rough Guide. Bevat info omtrent plaatsen en bezienswaardigheden, routesuggesties, leuke tips en diepgaande achtergrondinformatie. Veel aandacht voor de praktische details omtrent vervoer en verblijf. Met enkele stadsplattegrondjes en hier en daar wat summiere overzichtskaartjes. Overigens sober geïllustreerd.

The first dedicated English-language guidebook to an emergent and largely unspoiled ecotourist destination otherwise overlooked by the travel publishing industry. Peaceful and politically stable, Suriname is one of the world's five most thinly populated countries. Its Caribbean coastline is famed for its peerless turtle-watching opportunities, while the interior is swathed by a vast tract of pristine Amazonian rainforest rich in wildlife and accessible only by air or along the tropical waterways that incise the interior.The guide will include a detailed introduction to the diverse wildlife and intriguing history of the only former Dutch colony in South America, along with detailed regional coverage of the tropical coastline, the historic inner city of the culturally diverse capital Paramaribo (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and the thrilling opportunities for exploration afforded by the Upper Suriname River and elsewhere in the jungle-swathed interior.
