“They organized a 3-day visit to the jungle for us where we could live an incredible and completely wild experience, seeing orangutans and one of the largest existing flowers.
The guides are great and they organized the camps for us to have dinner and sleep each night. It is also a solidarity project so the benefits remain in this small and welcoming community.”
— Barbara, Sumatra Trekking guest

In certain places the use of bikinis or very small clothes is not recommended.
