The best way is to walk into the jungle, not only can experience the wonderful feeling in the shuttle stimulate the moist dark tropical rain forest, have the chance to close contact with animals and plants in the rainforest. This is the first time I came to the forest on foot, because the experience is not rich, so when the senior tour guide Steven before starting to bring me a pair of plastic shoes, I was still puzzled. But come on foot the starting point, the scene to see, understand why wear galoshes. Not the path along the cliff or cement road, in addition to the dense forest is in front of the muddy land.
