    A really old and misty rainforest.

    Feels like Jurassic Park. The 100km of gravel road are a bit long.

    Short walks through beautiful forest.

    We had the huts all to ourselves! Lovely (but cold) swimming holes.

    A truly beautiful and unique experience with a great hut with fireplace and wood and the possibility of watching blue ducks.
