The rainforest hiking trails here are relatively off the beaten path. The entire route follows a stream, is flat and easy on the legs, making it suitable even for beginners. Along the way, you can see dew rolling off leaves, squirrels darting through tree trunks, and colorful wild mushrooms. The most amazing part is the mountaintop viewing platform, offering a panoramic view of the entire rainforest, with its rolling green waves and distant sea of clouds – photos taken straight from your phone without needing any editing.
