Amazing trip, super professionally organised. Extremely helpful guides with main guide being fluent in English.
Fantastic jungle BBQ.
Trek is challenging, physically and mentally.
We did it with (sportive) kids 9 and 12.
Normally I would not recommend for under 12 years.
Due to two groups being out there we did it vice versa which is the worse way doing it. So make sure when booking you are in the “right” group.
