- PWPia· June 10th, 2025Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishThe description of the trip is completely inadequate. If I had known that we would be going into the jungle for several days with minimal luggage and no electricity etc. and that we would be soaked to the skin for several days, I would have prepared myself very differently. However, this was not apparent from the documents. I fell ill in the middle of the jungle. If I had been given more detailed information in advance about the itinerary of the trip, I would have adapted my medication and clothing accordingly. I was also told that we "had to keep going" and that there would be no delays to the trip. I was taken back to the capital alone so that the group could "get on with it". Everything else was left up to me and my journey home had to be organized by myself despite being ill. The tour may be nice if everything goes "according to plan". But woe betide you if something out of the ordinary happens. Then you're lost. A no-go for the proud price of the trip. I would never do it again.Show more
