Please consider your physical and mental condition for this trip in advance Jungle part might be heavily flooded. We will never know it upon arrival to the jungle. Mud and water for 100km is not easy at all
The jungle trek part is very hard and dangerous. Be ready to meet the world you didn't know existed. Mosquitos will never leave you in peace, but one thing you can be safe of - there is no malaria
. Please get a good insurance
