Once you are ready, your guide will lead you deep into the heart of the rainforest. For two exhilarating hours, you will navigate jungle trails, cross winding rivers, and conquer rugged dirt paths. The route includes spectacular viewpoints and a visit to a pristine waterfall. If weather permits, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the natural pools during our break. To keep you energized, we provide bottled water throughout the journey and conclude the ride with a vibrant selection of fresh tropical fruits.
