Dodatkowe informacje

Leeches are common in this rainforest environment, and possibly ticks. Mosquitos are present throughout the day in summer and more active at dawn and dusk.

On summer days, even through the week, tourists start to arrive in numbers around 8AM. You will probably want to be leaving by then.
