mev, do you think the heat and humidity will be worse than in Colombia? Worse than other parts in Central America? I imagine Panama was worse than CR or Nic right? and was Colombia worse than Panama?
just curious.
Past experience with Central America in March and Colombia in April was Colombia did feel more humid starting out at least. I was pretty focused on getting to the Andes so either it got slightly better after Cartagena or I ignored that part. Panama I remember mostly as just hot without as much sense of humidity and not worse than I've had in TX. My expectation and climate maps suggest Cartagena in April and Paramaribo in August are fairly similar and perhaps a step more muggy/humid.
Also what is different is Guyana/Suriname and perhaps French Guyana are my *only* destinations. So I'm not going to worry about bringing anything for temperatures less than 20C. I'm anticipating less tourist infrastructure in terms of hotels.
