There are many insects, as might be expected, as repellent is essential.

For what we will not have insect repellent and if we have to be careful is with snakes, you should bring sturdy shoes and high walking through this area, we never know what can we tread. There are often plenty of leeches here.

Before entering the park should be stocked with water and maps … inside the park there is a stream, but should not drink any water before finding it to relocate, because dehydration is one of the biggest hurdles that we have in this trip.

One of the things we can see here with a little luck are copies of Rafflesia grow in this area … is the largest flower in the world … has a meter in diameter, we can find it because it has a characteristic odor of putrefaction … despite This is one of the rare examples that are rarely seen anywhere else in the world.

Although it may seem, this park features some rest areas, guest houses are usually made with reeds and where we sleep, latrines and other sanitary facilities are very poor, and the rooms are very simple , just a mattress on the floor.

But to visit this highly protected along with the ability to spot the trail of a tiger, which is complicated, but it never ceases to have the illusion … makes the entire trip and the effort to walk four days in this thick jungle worthwhile.
