It's a real jungle adventure! You'll encounter real jungle villages with friendly indigenous people and such flora and fauna that you have only seen in nature films. During the tour you can taste things like the fresh cocoa fruit (the flesh of cocoa), the sweetness of raw sugar cane, jackfruit or soursop, 8 kinds of mango in season and other special fruits that don't even have a name in English or French!
