  • The information about 2 groups coming together was not entirely clear. The level of the first part was good but the second part, the jungle trekking, was not right for me. I would not recommend the second part for people my age (55), unless they have trained well for it The style of travel gives you the chance to discover things you wouldn't think of yourself
