Description
Our first adventure is Exploring the Ancient Rainforest on a Bamboo Raft. This ancient way to travel offers us a wind from the past and we can only imagine what it must have been like to travel through the jungle by river as your main way to transport people and goods to neighboring villages.

During your bamboo rafting journey, we take a moment to pause and appreciate the awe-inspiring view by the huge cliffs. Here, you can experience a true connection with nature as you take a coffee break. In a traditional jungle way, coffee is prepared by boiling water in a bamboo tube.
