== Access ==
From Europe you will have to fly from [[Schiphol]] airport ([[Amsterdam]]) there is also flight coming from [[Miami]]. By land you could technically can come from [[French Guiana]] (European Union) as or [[Guiana]]. In bath cases there is a road on river to cross, French side has a bridge, british side doesn't and to cross you have to chose between ''the coast wich connect both countries big boat'' (although some rivers have to be crossed by ferries but the official, legal ferry, this solution is only available for suriname citizens as visas are people with passports) or ''the little boats'' (home owned, illegal boats that take locals back and forth over the boarder, only delivered at Paramaribo airportuse this option if you don't have the correct paperwork and remember you will be a legal alien once on the other side... It might be possible to get out ) == Visas ==As of 2011 Suriname is the only country hitchhiking (in South America that requires a Visa for europeans and north-americans to French Guiana enter the country. The cost in 2011 was 45 US$ or 40 euros, and [[Guyana]] but then itinvolves at least 3 days paperwork in Paramaribo if you don's not possible to go back t have the visa prepared before you arrive in Suriname as the visa is single-entrancecountry.
== Road network ==
The road network is concentrated on the coast. Thus it might be possible most hitchhiking happens east to cross west, although the country E-W hitchhiking. There is no roads at all in dirt tracks on the interior of the countrycan also be hiked on, in that case you will travel with miners and loggers going down into the forest for the job.
== Boat and Plane Hitchhiking ==
Suriname is organized largely around it's waterways, some villages, just a few kilometers away from the capital are only accessible by boat, and the taxi-like motorized boats are everywhere on the rivers. It is may be possible to hitchhike get a dugout canoe lift in a boat, perhaps by offering to help with the landing procedure (although you would have to know how to line-handle at least a little), or by making friends with a boat owner. Otherwise be aware most people do pay to travel by boat. Not many sailing boats come to Suriname, although it is technically the landing point if you want to make the shortest crossing possible of the atlantic from the Cape Verdi islands. There is a place called Domburg, on the west coast of the interior Suriname river, just a half hour down south of Paramaribo, where a private owner lets out a few moorings and some yachts have even had their owners living permanently for about 3 or 4 years (in 2011). The people who do own yachts and come to Suriname will most probably come to Domburg at some point in their visit, and they will almost always be Dutch-speakers (that is the number one reason that people come to Suriname because it is the sole Dutch-speaking country as many local residents on the continent!) If you are using this technique lucky enough and have patience you may find somebody there who would take you on their boat, and their destination from there in 99% of transportcases will be Trinidad. In Suriname  If also seems possible to travel inland by hitchhiking a small propeller plane like a small Cesna or Piper machine, which go to bumpy airfields somewhere in the are probably more canoes than carsjungle.
Another option seems to be hitchhiking a small propeller plane like a small Cesna or Piper machine, which are going to bumpy airfields somewhere in the jungle (or elsewhere).
== Jungle ==
Don't try to go in the jungle without a local guide.
