We continue on the trail through a hugely impressive primary forest populated with mighty mahogany trees, bamboo groves and wild banana plants. After finding a suitable campsite our guides will teach you how to construct a banana shelter for the night, and how to select and find the right building materials from the forest. Alternatively, we can provide tents for comfort.
