Riverside hotels (Torarica and Rainville)
Larger riverside hotels with pools and desks staffed round the clock; a taxi ride from the market and Keizerstraat.

- South America ↗Above 2,500 m (Bogotá, Quito, Cusco, La Paz) keep the first day light; sleep lower where you can (Sacred Valley before Cusco) and descend if headache comes with vomiting or confusion.
- South America ↗A yellow fever certificate is required on arrival in French Guiana, and asked for on some routes into Bolivia, Paraguay, Suriname and Guyana, or when arriving from Amazon areas — vaccinate at least 10 days before travel and carry the card.
- South America ↗Overnight buses are the norm in Argentina, Chile and Peru, but pick top-tier companies and keep valuables on your body; on-board thefts from overhead racks are the common loss.
- Suriname ↗Most visitors pay the online entry fee (about US$50 plus processing) before travel, and everyone fills in the ICF immigration and customs form within 3 days of arriving; some passports need an e-visa instead. Check the official portals for your passport.
- Suriname ↗Interior trips should be booked with an established operator that includes transport, as river and road access depend on the weather.
- Paramaribo and Commewijne ↗In the long rainy season (late Apr–Aug) boat and road trips can be cancelled: keep a spare day.
- Paramaribo ↗Uneven pavements, open drains and heat: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Paramaribo ↗After dark, take a taxi door to door; do not walk between clusters.
- Paramaribo ↗The airport is 45 km away on an unlit road: pre-book the pickup and leave for departures three to four hours before the flight.
