“Très bonne activité, les guides étaient super bienveillants et gentils. On marche pas mal durant la journée, quelques endroits peuvent être un peu « physiques ». Pensez vraiment à apporter de l’anti moustique! En revanche on a trouver le trek sympathique mais pas « wahou », ne vous attendez pas à voir des choses impressionnantes ! La cuisine au bambou était DÉLICIEUSE et on a adorer cette activité ! Je vous recommande. Prévoyez de l’anti moustique par contre”
