Luggage and equipment to bring
At all times, pack light clothing and something warmer for evenings, as well as protection from rain (and sun) and mosquitoes, especially if you plan to walk in the forest. For the forest, good shoes are recommended, along with plastic sandals or, even better, rubber boots for walking in water. For those who prefer nights in "carbets," bring a hammock with ropes and mosquito net (available locally), as well as a lightweight sleeping bag (nights can be chilly) and a headlamp.

Time difference

Like neighboring French Guiana, Suriname is at UTC-3. This means there are 4 hours less in winter and 5 hours less in summer compared to metropolitan France.
Electricity
127 volts (60 Hz) with "French" plugs (officially types C and F), which will require an adapter for North American plugs.
