You step off the minibus where the paved road thins and the rainforest pushes forward—bamboo trunks ticking in a humid wind, distant water daring you deeper into green.

Good cardiovascular fitness and leg strength recommended; must be comfortable with sustained uphill hiking, wet/muddy terrain, and short rock scrambles.
